Who built the Cross Bronx? In the history of an ambivalent icon, the answer is as complicated as the highway interchanges.

“The Cross Bronx is the catalyst for the Bronx history that drives my work as a documentarian of community. It’s this dichotomy of, ‘I wish this was never here,’ and ‘I would miss it if it went away.’”

More than just red paint and white text, political maneuvers and enforcement strategies are key elements in the design of the city’s bus lanes.

To reimagine the Cross Bronx Expressway, and redress damage it has wrought for generations, we have to see the corridor clearly as it is today.
