As in past years, the existing protected bike lane on the east side of Second Avenue will be kept clear by NYPD, maintained as a travel lane to accommodate emergency vehicles and dignitary motorcades. Traffic and signage will delineate and direct cyclists to the temporary bikeway. Along southbound Second Avenue, a temporary bike lane will be created between East 57th Street and East 41st Street, adjacent to the existing protected bike lane using both the travel lane and parking lane.No exit is available between East 40th and East 49th Streets. Cyclists are advised that the temporary bike lane is a tunnel thruway with no turns: ie. Barrels, signage, and tape will delineate the space for the temporary bikeway and direct cyclists where to travel. Cyclists will be directed to use one northbound travel lane through the 1st Avenue tunnel where a temporary bikeway will then transition back to the existing protected bike lane at East 49th Street. Along northbound First Avenue, cyclists will pass a security checkpoint at 39th Street, after which they will be able to travel on the temporary bike lane between East 40th Street to East 49th Street.34th Street between 7th Avenue and FDR Drive.42nd Street between 7th Avenue and FDR Drive.48th Street between 1st Avenue and FDR Drive Service Road.49th Street between 1st Avenue and FDR Drive Service Road.51st Street between 7th Avenue and 1st Avenue.50th Street between 7th Avenue and FDR Drive.52nd Street between 7th Avenue and Madison Avenue.53rd Street between 7th Avenue and FDR Drive.54th Street between 7th Avenue and Madison Avenue.55th Street between 7th Avenue and Madison Avenue.
