The width of the switchback is about 10'.
I expected it to be worse at the bottom of the ramp after the flooding a couple weeks ago... I think I read somewhere the issue with getting it open is access to the Point from the other end of the wharf but I don't follow it enough to know for sure as I tend to stay off the Smithfield St bridge.
