ALERT: This site is never safe for swimming or fishing

Newtown Creek at the Metropolitan Avenue Bridge is an industrial waterway and a tributary of the East River.

Hudson Riverkeeper has sampled at this location since 2008 from May through October. Monthly testing is not frequent enough to make a safe swimming determination. Riverkeeper is advocating for high frequency testing and data reporting along the Hudson River wherever the public swims, boats and fishes.
