NEW YORK CITY — As thousands of triathletes dash down the Hudson and through Central Park on Sunday, drivers will have to work their way around some street closures.
Starting at 5:30 a.m. and lasting until 2 p.m. on July 24, the following streets will be closed to traffic due to the Panasonic New York City Triathlon:
► All northbound lanes on the Henry Hudson Parkway from 57th Street to the Mosholu Parkway.
► Mosholu Parkway to Gun Hill Road.
► Riverside Drive from 79th Street to 72nd Street.
► 72nd Street from Riverside Drive to Central Park.
► 79th Street from Riverside Drive to West Side Highway.
The race will see competitors swim 0.9 miles in the Hudson, cycle 25 miles on the Henry Hudson Parkway and run 5 miles (the track was shortened from 6 miles due to an expected heat wave) through Central Park.
