The High Line-Moynihan Connector, an elevated pathway linking the High Line to Moynihan Train Hall, has officially opened to the public.
The 600-foot-long connector has two sections that form an L-shape: a Woodland Bridge and a Timber Bridge, Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a news release.
The former runs east above West 30th Street, starting at the High Line’s “Spur” at 10th Avenue, while the latter turns 90 degrees and runs north above Dyer Avenue toward a pedestrian plaza at a development called Manhattan West that sits directly across from the train hall, the release said.
The project, which was first unveiled by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2021, features safety upgrades including new pedestrian signals, lighting, planters and crosswalks, according to the release.
Hochul visited the site for a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday morning.
"This showcases the natural beauty, the plantings — how magnificent are they? — the streetscapes,” she said of the pathway. “The chance to see from a different vantage point how magnificent this city is.”
