STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.– The TD Five Boro Bike Tour, the nation’s largest charitable bike ride, returns this Sunday, May 5. Cyclists will begin their journey in Manhattan, and cross five major bridges, including the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, which will signal to riders that the Ford Wadsworth finish, and the Finish Festival on Staten Island, is near.
The first wave of riders will get started at 7:30 a.m.
Due to the event, hosted by Bike New York, part of the Verrazzano Bridge will be closed for the majority of the day on Sunday.
The Staten Island-bound lower level of the bridge will be closed from 2 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday. The Bay Street exit near the bridge will also be closed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The Staten Island-bound upper level of the Verrazzano will remain open during the event, and is accessible from 92nd Street and the Belt Parkway entrance ramps.
Drivers are advised that closure times are subject to change and delays are expected.
