Great New York Rail Bridge Nearing Completion
A New York Central four track bridge over the Harlem River nears completion. Beginning Feb 11, passenger traffic from the north will cross at a level high above the street, with a long viaduct from 125th Street to 125th Street. The design allows most vessels to pass beneath when closed, with government rules limiting tug operations during certain hours.

The new elevated rail viaduct spans 24 feet high at ends and 61 feet at center, boosting speed and city access.
