ARGGGH!!! The hill around 83rd Street that runs from the Riverside Park esplanade to the mid-level promenade (over the AMTRAK tunnel), is now closed as part of the mid level construction (as in the NY1 Story above). There's no warning until you discover they've put a fence across the path. There's no posted alternative and they've reinforced the fencing to prevent people from using the unpaved path that runs along the river.

Going north, you can take the stairs, on the right, after going through the underpass, or use either the 79th Street traffic circle or the wheelchair ramps around the 79th Street Rotunda.

Crews were actively working when I was there Tuesday afternoon so, hopefully, they'll expedite this section and re-open it soon.
