Harlem River Bridge Walk

Janes Walk

Led By Jason Stein

We’re going to cross bridges!

We’re going to explore a few of the Harlem River Bridges and see.

how things are connected and have amazing views of the Harlem River.

Starting from the Third Avenue bridge then back over the Madison Avenue Bridge to the 145th Street Bridge and finally zig zag over the Macombs Dam Bridge. Along the way we’ll explore specific points of interest including a street that was once a canal, a park which used to be an industrial site, a view of Yankee Stadium and the only relic left which connected to the former Polo grounds, and much more.

We’ll definitely get a different perspective of how Manhattan and The Bronx are connected and explore some of the history of the Harlem River.

Accessibility

We'll be crossing bridges and streets with pedestrian onramps, steps and inclines. This is not wheelchair accessible. From about 128th Street to 157th Street which doesn't include crossing four bridges to reach our final destination. Maybe around two miles, maybe a little more.
