The New Bridge connecting Rexford and Aqueduct is now open to both lanes in both directions. The next step will be completion of the approaches to the bike/pedestrian lane. The bike lane on the bridge is complete, but construction of the approaches continues.

Anticipation of the bike connection across the Mohawk mounts. In the meantime the four lanes are wide enough and traffic moves at reasonable speeds so that sharing the road is a pleasant change from the old bridge.

Click on the image to see it full size. With the new traffic lane markings you can easily visualize how smoothly traffic …including those following the Mohawk Towpath Byway can move through the two lane circle/roundabout.
