Bronx-Whitestone Bridge (I-678) Spans the East River.

With its elegant modern towers, the Whitestone served as the portal for Robert Moses’ 1939 World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows. Today, no bike or pedestrian path is available on the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge. Until recently, the NYC DOT and Queens Surface Corporation offered the QBx1, a bus with a bike rack on the front. When the MTA took over the QBx1 route, this service was eliminated, despite T.A.'s requests to maintain bike access.

To restore bike on bus service on the QBx1, send a letter to Millard L. Seay, Senior Vice President of MTA Busses:

There were also once two pedestrian walkways on the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge but they were removed in 1946. At that time the roadway was widened from four to six lanes, and its designation changed from parkway to expressway. To win a walking and biking path on the Whitestone Bridge, send a letter to Michael Ascher, President of MTA Bridges and Tunnels:
