The University Heights Bridge is a steel-truss revolving swing bridge across the Harlem River. It connects West 207th Street in the Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan with West Fordham Road in the Bronx's University Heights neighborhood. The bridge is operated and maintained by the New York City Department of Transportation.nThe bridge carries two lanes of traffic in each direction and a sidewalk on its southern side. The bridge has three masonry piers supporting the steel approach spans. The sidewalk features four shelters with cast-iron supports, while the bridge deck has decorative iron railings and two stone pavilions.nThe bridge structure was originally installed further to the north, carrying Broadway across the Harlem River Ship Canal. It opened in 1895 as the Harlem Ship Canal Bridge and was relocated southward to University Heights in 1908. Over the following decades, the University Heights Bridge carried streetcar and bus service. By the late 20th century, it was in disrepair. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the University Heights Bridge as a city landmark in 1984, and it was completely rebuilt between 1989 and 1992.

Each of the more than two dozen bridges connecting Manhattan to another part of the boroughs has its own distinct character. I most remember approaching the Fordham Road bridge/University Heights Bridge a few years after my first circumnavigation of Manhattan and, admittedly, feeling pretty tired. I then was happy when I saw the Sharp boathouse because I recalled it (inaccurately) as being closer to Inwood Park, where I was going to take out, than it is in reality was.

2 lane bi-directional connecting 207 st and Fordham rd. Plan accordingly.
