Just out of curiosity, why is the Goenthals bridge a no-go?

Also, that new bike path you talked about, is there a website that tracks the progress of the construction? Is there a name for that trail?

Thanks

You can also go into Hoboken and ride one of the ferries to NYC:

Nicer views than PATH. Note that the only weekend service from Hoboken is from the 14th St. dock to Midtown. You can then ride the path along the Hudson if you so desire.

I can give you a link to a route from New Hope, PA/Lambertville, NJ to Hoboken if you would like. It's about 90 miles. It can only be ridden on a weekend because it goes through the Port of Elizabeth & Newark. If you are intent on ride from Trenton, you could take the D&R Canal Path from Trenton to Lambertville. Alternatively, you could register for the New Hope-Brooklyn ride run by the Bicycle Club of Philadelphia. It's the Sunday before Labor Day and uses the route mentioned above:
