As of today the NYPD is enforcing a dismount and walk in the construction area of the 59th ST Bridge. I will assume that construction is between 6:30am-5:30 pm on weekdays. Today the walk was about 100-200 ft on the top area. NYPD has been on the bridge with a car for the past month or so.

A TA rep at the 59th st bridge says this is also occuring on the Willy B.

If you can confirm this on any bridges please post here and date with specifics.

No problem. I'm thinking maybe it's a crackdown for the beginning of school?
