Manhattan: Riverside Drive - Dyckman Street

(1 & 2)

Riverside Drive, at Dyckman Street, showing the new link connecting same with the Henry Hudson Parkway via a bridge over Dyckman Street and from which the photographer is viewing southward in No. 1. Formerly the Drive followed the contour of the stone wall and turned eastward to Broadway, skirting Fort Tryon Park in which the Cloisters, a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art is under construction. Southwest of same is the new George Washington Bridge across the North (Hudson) River at 181st Street. View No. 2 is northward from a point below the new Museum and across the Dyckman Street gap to Inwood Hill Park.
