The connection was created to facilitate pedestrian mobility around the Lincoln Tunnel : a road with several ramps, concrete barriers and chaotic traffic. The L-shaped suspension bridge is 183 meters long and runs from the High Line to Moynihan Train Hall . The former is a major tourist destination, receiving more than 8 million visitors per year (before the pandemic).
