Construction Update: High Line Moynihan Connector
Woodland Bridge from the High Line.
Construction is underway on the High Line Moynihan Connector, an elevated public-pedestrian pathway linking the High Line’s Spur at West 30th Street and 10th Avenue with Moynihan Station. The project is led by a public-private partnership between Empire State Development (ESD), Friends of the High Line, and Brookfield Properties. SOM and James Corner Field Operations are jointly responsible for the design of the elevated pathway. Currently under construction, the 600 foot long Woodland Bridge will run along West 30th Street and feature deep soil beds with trees lining the pedestrian path. At the eastern end of the bridge, a second 600 foot long bridge, the Timber Bridge, will run north along Dyer Avenue to the public plaza at Manhattan West. That bridge’s design will feature a Warren truss made of sustainably sourced wood. Completion of the connector is set for the spring of 2023.
