Upper West Side Weekend Street & Subway Closures/Changes: 9/30/11 – 10/3/11
West 82nd, between Columbus & Central Park West: This street will be closed Saturday from 8 am to 4 pm to facilitate crane operation.
Broadway, between 96th & 106th Streets (NOTE: I’m under the impression this goes up to 110th, but the city’s website says 106th): This street will be closed Sunday from 11am to 6pm for the 23rd Annual Upper Broadway Festival.
The Annual Bike MS Tour takes place on Sunday is going to mess things up for most of the day. Riverside Drive between 165th Street & 72nd Street, West 72nd between Riverside & West End, West End between 72nd & West 59th, and the West Side Highway (South Bound) between West 56th & West Street will reportedly be closed from 7:30 am – 6:00 pm. I’m not sure if that’s the whole day or only intermittently. Either way, sounds like avoiding the far West Side would be a good idea if possible.
207 St-bound A-trains skip Spring, 23rd and 50th Streets – 12:01 AM to 6:30 AM, Saturday, Oct 1, 11 PM Sat to 8 AM Sun, Oct 1 – 2, 11 PM Sun to 5 AM Mon, Oct 2 – 3
