Weekend plans? We’re thinking height checks and keeping the roads safe for everyone. 📏 😊 Bridge strikes are 100% preventable - all it takes is knowing your vehicle’s height and planning ahead. Tag your road trip partner (or the one who needs a friendly reminder 👀)

Think you're the best? Being a pro doesn’t mean skipping the basics. Check your height. Most trucks have it posted for a reason. Bridge strikes are 100% preventable. #CheckYourHeightKnowItsRight

When you don't know your vehicle height, no one's smiling.🙄 Bridge strikes put safety at risk and cause major delays. Measure. Plan. Prevent.✅ #checkyourheightknowitsright

Is it just me, or did everyone else suddenly feel the overwhelming urge to check their vehicle’s height and not be *that* driver who hits a bridge and causes a safety hazard? 😵‍💫🚛 #checkyourheightknowitsright

🚨Happening now: Commissioner @MarieThereseNY, on behalf of @GovKathyHochul, joins @NYSThruway, @nyspolice & @nysdmv to launch a NY +16 other state + D.C. public awareness & enforcement campaign to stop bridge strikes by large trucks.  🛑 “Check Your Height, Know It’s Right!”

Check your height and know it's right! Each time a vehicle hits a bridge, it's not just inconvenient; it's a safety risk, causes delays, and is expensive for everyone. GPS doesn’t know your height. You should!

The annual @gobikebuffalo SkyRide was expanded this year to include I-190. On Sunday, a stretch of the Niagara Section was closed to vehicular traffic. Hundreds of bikers rode over the Skyway and then looped on to I-190 where they rode between Church Street and Porter Avenue🚴

Looking to visit the shared use path this weekend? Take the FREE path shuttle. Hudson Link buses run every 20 minutes from 9:30 am to 9:30 pm providing easy access to both sides of the bridge and now with two stops in downtown Nyack. Learn more ▶️ bit.ly/3qh6aBv
