SEAoNY Young Member Group Presents:
High Line Moynihan Connector
Pedestrian Bridge Webinar
DATE: Wednesday, July 15, 2026
TIME: 12:00 - 1:00 PM
Zoom Webinar
Linking the Moynihan Train Hall with the High Line at 10th Avenue, the High Line Moynihan Connector is a new pedestrian pathway that provides safer and more enjoyable access to the West Side! The east-west Woodlands Bridge is supported by a combination of weathering steel framing and precast concrete, which facilitated a rapid construction schedule. The Timber Bridge consists of a three-span, 250-foot-long Warren truss structure made of sustainably sourced glued laminated timbers, each spanning from 80 to 90 feet. It is supported on two columns positioned to minimize interruptions to traffic during construction and allow for future roadway changes. Although the bridge visually interfaces with Manhattan West, the northern span cantilevers 78 feet to avoid the need for an additional support column at the busy Lincoln Tunnel entrance below.
