The West Side Hwy runs from the Battery up to 57th Street (its official name is the Joe DeMaggio Hwy, BTW) where it becomes the Henry Hudson Pkwy. This landslide occured above the GW Bridge...which is no where near the West Side Hwy. The Henry Hudson Pkwy runs north from 57th along the Hudson River until near the Riverdale/Yonkers border where it changes over to the Moshulu (heading east) and Saw Mill (heading north) Pkwys.

I drove the thing for years, and I always considered the WSH to be that part of the road that started at 57th on the river and went south from there. It used to be elevated, but it's all at ground level now.
