The Reimagine the Cross Bronx Expressway process is now complete.
Review the Reimagine the Cross Bronx Expressway: Connected, Safe, Healthy Communities Final Vision (pdf).
The Cross Bronx Expressway stretches across the borough as part of Interstate 95 (I-95). Constructed between 1948 and 1972 under the public builder Robert Moses, the Cross Bronx divided the borough in a way that displaced residents and separated communities.
It is currently one of the most congested American interstates with some of the highest rates of traffic and collisions, and neighborhoods surrounding the corridor experience some of the worst health issues in the city.
In December 2022, NYC Mayor Eric Adams kicked off a landmark study to Reimagine the Cross Bronx. The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) funded this study with a $2 million grant as part of the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program. The study ended in 2025 with the release of a report, Reimagine the Cross Bronx Expressway: Connected, Safe, Healthy Communities.
Reimagine the Cross Bronx aimed to help improve the corridor by:
Identifying strategies to increase more sustainable travel modes
Improving access to open space
Increasing safety
Improving freight management
