Five Bridges Project - Cross Bronx Expressway Rehabilitation

planned

The Five Bridges Project is a $900 million effort to rehabilitate five elevated sections of the Cross Bronx Expressway, which were built roughly 70 years ago and are now in need of significant repairs. The project includes design options such as widening the roadway's shoulders by 25 feet on both sides to meet federal standards and adding a pathway along the southern end of the highway that could later become a bike and pedestrian route. The project aims to improve safety and maintain the infrastructure without expanding the expressway's footprint.
