I wanted to Know ? :
(a) Can you get on the Island ( manhatttan) from the G.W. Bridge ?
EVERYTIME I've crossed C.B. X-Way,in Both Directions, ( Unless I need Glasses ? )....I've NEVER seen any Truck Route Signs !
(b) What Bridges CAN Access the Island ? and I've been told 53ft.'s ARE NOT ALLOWED past Mid-Town ( no Further than The Empire State Building )
Is this also Correct ?
Keep on Truckin' !
N.Y.C. Driving....

Yes, you can. I never left I-95 as I was just passing through, but I've driven a 53' over the GWB along with many other drivers. Also, if I remember correctly, trucks are only allowed on the upper level of the bridge.
It kinda freaked me out the first time because going from NJ to NY there's a 13' 6" clearance sign on the NY side, but there were quite a few other trucks ahead of me who were going under it just fine. -
The exit off of the GWB to Manhattan is the very first exit off of the bridge. 53s are not legal within any of the 5 boroughs, but they go in all the time.

There aren't allowed in Manhattan. They can go in the rest is what I was told. But it doesn't matter I won't do NYC anymore.

you can do 13' 6...but it doesn't leave much room if/when you hit a bump....but we all know the cross bronx is sooooo smooth that this will never happen....right?
