Ahoy Staten Island! re: Ft Wadsworth closed road
This afternoon, I biked through Ft Wadsworth. Typically, my route includes USS North Carolina Road between Hudson Road and the pedpath connecting to Miller Field. Today, heading south from Hudson Road, I found two very emphatic sets of barriers blocking USS North Carolina Road. No information signs and nothing on the website
https://www.nps.gov/gate/planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm
The workaround is easy / convenient enough (Hudson Rd / Battery Rd / McLean Av - Lilly Pond Av) and the reverse works equally well, but I was wondering if anyone has any information about how long USS North Carolina Road will be closed.
And yes, I know about the Visitor Center on New York Av. Before encountering the closed road, I’d used the Visitor Center’s indoor plumbing, but it didn’t occur to me to ask about closed roads.

Pretty sure Ft. Wadsworth is under the command of Ft. Hamilton
Why not call the LEO's for Ft,. Hamilton, they might have an answer or suggestion

Passed through today - the barriers are still there. Unofficially, you can pass around them, and once you do (allegedly) there is another barrier on the path connecting the fort area to the path by the boardwalk - but it's easy to get around. Physically, there seems to be nothing wrong with any of the roads/path there.

Bumping this: I biked through Ft. Wadsworth today. I'm clueless whether the barriers I encountered about 18 months ago on USS North Carolina Road between Hudson Road and the pedpath connecting to Miller Field were related to what I found today; no matter.
This segment of North Carolina Road has been repaved, superbly.
The repaving included removing all but one of the speedbumps that had been on this road. The one remaining speedbump is on the hill near the camping area. It's not the full width of the road; easy to bike around it.
