Those grades sound too high for the amount of effort involved. A 13% grade is a killer grade, and the 59th st bridge is not a killer climb.

I don't know if the bridges are listed, but NYCC.org has a listing of the grades of many of the climbs in the NYC area.http://nycc.org/resources/re_regional_grades.html

They're not listed, but you get the idea.
