Tenth Avenue (Manhattan)
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Tenth Avenue is a north-south thoroughfare on the West Side of Manhattan in New York City. It carries uptown (northbound) traffic only.
Tenth Avenue begins at West 13th Street and the West Side Highway in the West Village / Meatpacking District and it runs northbound for 44 blocks to the intersection of West 57th Street, after which the roadway continues without any sort of impediment but is renamed Amsterdam Avenue.
As Amsterdam Avenue, the thoroughfare continues for 133 more blocks before reaching High Bridge Park, where the roadway is briefly renamed as Fort George Avenue before it terminates. North of High Bridge Park, however, a stretch of roadway called Tenth Avenue (not Amsterdam Avenue) runs for several blocks, before terminating at the intersection of West 218th Street and Broadway, near the extreme northern tip of the island of Manhattan and the Broadway Bridge, which crosses the Harlem River.
