High Line Mass Timber Pedestrian Bridge

New York, NY

The conversion of an abandoned set of elevated rail tracks into the High Line created one of New York’s most popular public spaces. A new connector will allow pedestrians to access Moynihan Train Hall from the existing park, with a timber truss pedestrian bridge connecting 30th Street to the Manhattan West platform.
