Movable Bridges

DOT oversees 25 movable bridges throughout the five boroughs. Federal mandates require around-the-clock coverage at many of the movable bridges.

Mariners should monitor marine radio channel 16 for news from the U.S. Coast Guard on special circumstances affecting the operation of movable bridges. If you'd like to request a bridge opening for a vessel, you have three options. You can call the DOT Bridge Operator on marine radio channel 13, the DOT Bridge Operations Office at (212) 371-7836, or the DOT Communications Center at (718) 433-3340.
