Advocates rally against any Cross Bronx expansion ahead of April 7 state deadline

Dozens of advocates and elected officials joined a March 27 rally to say no to any plan that widens the Cross Bronx Expressway, continuing their long fight for equitable repairs to the highway and its surrounding infrastructure

Ahead of an April 7 state deadline to select a construction proposal, protestors met at the Bronx River Arts Center in West Farms, overlooking the notorious Cross Bronx. Attendees held signs saying, “more lanes = more pain” and “communities over concrete.”
