The five boroughs of New York City will be represented in the 2024 marathon on Sunday November 3 as thousands of runners take to the streets for the annual event.

Criss-crossing past various world-famous landmarks, the route takes turns into Manhattan, the Bronx, Staten Island, Queens and Brooklyn before finishing at at West 67th Street in Central Park.

As such, various roads and routes are closed off to the general public as the race weaves through the city, meaning traffic is to be expected. Here is all the information regarding the NYPD road/bridge closures and when things will be back to normal.

While there are no official closure times for each specific street, the timetables range from around 7am in the morning with restrictions being lifted around 6pm on Sunday evening.
