Description
Houston Street begins at an interchange with the FDR Drive at East River Park. The road begins as a divided highway and intersects with Columbia Street and East 2nd Street. Avenue B and several local streets intersect the road. After the intersection with the Bowery, Houston Street becomes a regular two-way city street and continues west. Lafayette Street and Broadway intersect soon after. After the Broadway intersection, East Houston Street becomes West Houston Street.
West Houston, to Sixth Avenue, went through an extensive renovation process from 2006 to 2008. Sixth Avenue intersects at a curve in the road in Greenwich Village. West of that point, the street narrows and becomes one way westbound. West Houston Street comes to an end at an intersection with West Street and Pier 40 on the Hudson River.
