You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Alexander Hamilton Bridge''' is an eight-lane steel arch bridge that carries traffic over the [[Harlem River]] between the boroughs of [[Manhattan]] and the [[Bronx]] in [[New York City]]. The bridge connects the [[Trans-Manhattan Expressway]] in the [[Washington Heights, Manhattan|Washington Heights]] section of Manhattan with the [[Cross-Bronx Expressway]] as part of [[Interstate 95 in New York|Interstate 95]] and [[U.S. Route 1 in New York|U.S. 1]]. 

The bridge opened to traffic on January 15, 1963, the same day that the Cross-Bronx Expressway was completed. For 2011, the [[New York City Department of Transportation]], which operates and maintains the bridge, reported an [[average daily traffic]] (ADT) volume in both directions of 182,174, having reached a peak ADT of 192,848 in 1990.<ref name=ADT>((cite web |url=https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/bridge-traffic-report-11.pdf|title=2011 New York City Bridge Traffic Volumes |date=March 2010 |publisher=New York City Department of Transportation |page=74 |access-date=February 28, 2013| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100528130124/https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/bridgetrafrpt08.pdf| archive-date= May 28, 2010 | url-status= live))</ref>

==Design==
[[File:Hambritrafficjeh.jpg|thumb|Alexander Hamilton Bridge in May 2008]]
The total length of the bridge, including approaches, is ((Convert|2,375|ft|m|0)). Its parallel main spans are ((Convert|555|ft|m|0)) long and provide ((Convert|103|ft|m|0)) of vertical clearance over the Harlem River at the center and ((Convert|366|ft|m|0)) of horizontal clearance.<ref name=":0">((Cite web |title=Compact NYSDOT Highway Record Plans: Beginning 1900 |url=https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/Compact-NYSDOT-Highway-Record-Plans-Beginning-1900/6bx3-2s36 |access-date=2023-11-27 |website=State of New York |language=en))</ref>

The bridge design included a set of spiraling ramps (officially known as the '''Highbridge Interchange''' and colloquially known as "The Corkscrew") to connect to and from the [[Major Deegan Expressway]] (completed in 1964) and a [[viaduct]] ramp connecting to the [[Harlem River Drive]], both of which are over ((Convert|100|ft|m|-1)) below the level of the bridge, and access to [[Tenth Avenue (Manhattan)|Amsterdam Avenue]].<ref name=":0" />

==History==
After the [[George Washington Bridge]], which connects [[Manhattan]] and [[New Jersey]] was completed in 1931, vehicles traveling between New Jersey and [[The Bronx]] would travel over the [[Washington Bridge]], which crosses the [[Harlem River]] just north of the present Alexander Hamilton Bridge.<ref>((Cite news|date=June 26, 1940|title=Cross-city Tunnel Opens Tomorrow; Manhattan's First East-West Drive Goes Under Heights From Washington Bridge|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1940/06/26/112744136.pdf|page=25|access-date=January 26, 2021|issn=0362-4331))</ref> The Alexander Hamilton Bridge was planned in the mid-1950s to connect [[Robert Moses]]' proposed [[Trans-Manhattan Expressway|Trans-Manhattan]] and [[Cross-Bronx Expressway]]s and to accommodate the additional traffic resulting from the addition of the six-lane lower level to the George Washington Bridge.<ref name=":0" /><ref>((Cite news|last=Ingraham|first=Joseph C.|date=August 26, 1962|title=Double-deck Span; George Washington Bridge Expansion Is Keystone of Vast Road Project Double-deck Span|language=en-US|page=372|work=The New York Times|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1962/08/26/90580550.pdf|access-date=January 28, 2021|issn=0362-4331))</ref> With the [[Interstate Highway System|Interstate]] designation, 90% of the $21 million in construction costs were covered by the federal government.
