Intermittent, full closures at the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge’s Harlem River Lift Span to/from Manhattan are scheduled on Thursday, July 20, from 12:01 a.m. to 5:50 a.m. for bridge lifts to test mechanical functionality and allow routine preventive maintenance.      

Each closure is expected to last approximately 20 minutes. Customers traveling on the M60 bus, which offers service to LaGuardia Airport, should expect delays. Motorists may wish to consider an alternate route.
