Q: Can I get a vehicle into downtown Manhattan?

All traffic and checkpoints south of Canal Street (South & Pike, Canal & Broadway, Canal & Lafayette, and Canal & Bowery) will be in place during the hours of 6:00 am through 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday only. They will check that vehicles either belong to a resident or have a documented and legitimate (bill of sale or delivery order, along with ID) business need. Traffic will have free access 8:00 p.m. through 6:00 a.m. and all day Saturday and Sunday. In short, restrictions have been reduced. Please urge people that this is constantly subject to change.

More detailed, from nyc.gov: The area east of Broadway, south of Canal Street (but not Broadway itself) and Tribeca between Church and Greenwich Streets, south of Canal and north of Duane Streets, have been re-opened to all traffic from 8 pm until 5 am on weeknights, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. On weekdays from 5 am to 8 pm, only residents, commercial traffic, licensed taxis, liveries, and buses will be allowed.

West Street is open to traffic from 34th Street to Canal Street in both directions. Two lanes of traffic are available.

Vehicular traffic is prohibited on the FDR Drive south of Houston Street, except for vehicles authorized for the recovery effort, authorized buses and essential emergency vehicles, or vehicles traveling north of the Brooklyn Bridge. Vehicles can enter the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel Brooklyn-bound from the FDR Drive south.

Q: How can product deliveries can be made South of Canal Street?

See above. In case it is needed, drivers should carry 2 forms of ID (including business ID) and an invoice or bill of lading. Please emphasize that the above is subject to change at the discretion of NYPD and that all vehicles are subject to search.

CONTRACTOR ACCESS

Q: If I am a Contractor (Le., repair/cleanup), how can I get access south of Canal Street in both the Frozen Zone AND the non-frozen zone?

A: For all buildings south of Canal Street, contractors must come to the NYPD command post at Broadway and Fulton Street to arrange contractor access.

Contractors must meet the following requirements: • All employees MUST have 2 forms of ID including their company ED • All Contractors must provide a list of their workers names and SS#s • Contractors must have a written work order from the Property Manager or Building Owner • Contractors MUST return to the NYPD checkpoint for every shift. They will not be allowed to apply for approval for all of their shifts at one time; each shift will be approved separately by toe NYPD for access.
