Rockland Daily Staff

The Hudson Link weekend shuttle bus service across the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge will no longer be free after Sunday, October 30.

At 3.6 miles, the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge features one of the longest shared-use paths in the United States. Located on the northern side of the bridge’s westbound span, cyclists and pedestrians encounter six scenic overlooks, interpretive signage, and public art as they cross the Hudson River. Food, restrooms, and other amenities are available at each landing in Rockland and Westchester counties.

The free shuttle bus service provides pedestrians and bicyclists unparalleled service from select locations in Westchester and Rockland counties to one of the longest shared-use paths in the country. Nearly half a million visitors have enjoyed the amenities along the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge shared used path since it opened two years ago.

The shuttle buses run every 20 minutes between 9:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. on weekends, allowing easy access to the landings on both sides of the recreational path. The shuttle serves four stops and travels eastbound and westbound to support usage of the shared-use path.

For more information about the path, visit the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge website.

Visitors are strongly encouraged to check the bridge’s Twitter account (@GMMCB) for updates on parking lot status and weather conditions.
