Riverside Drive Viaduct Rehabilitation

EnTech’s REI team is currently at work on a crucial roadway project in Upper Manhattan: the rehabilitation of the Riverside Drive Viaduct. This 78-span elevated structure carries six lanes of traffic between West 153rd and West 161st streets. A historically significant structure, whose first segment was built in 1908, it offers scenic views of the Hudson River and the New Jersey Palisades. The viaduct forms part of an exceptionally dense network of civil infrastructure—Amtrak’s Empire Line runs directly underneath one segment of the viaduct, and numerous masonry and high-rise buildings abut the viaduct’s eastern side.
