# Every Notable Pedestrian Bridge in New York City

As someone who enjoys running across bridges, I was surprised to find that there is no list of fun pedestrian bridge runs in New York City. At first, I wanted to document every single bridge in NYC, but this was impractical. So instead, I'm only listing every notable bridge, which I define as any bridge having [a Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bridges_and_tunnels_in_New_York_City).

## Methodology

To complete this list, I went through the list of all bridges on Wikipedia, and included all the bridges where:

- it is well-documented or common knowledge as being a pedestrian bridge
- it has many authentic-looking reviews on Google maps mentioning walks across the bridge
- or failing the above, I looked up map directions for walking to verify that the bridge is indeed walkable.

This list is up to date as of November 13, 2022.
