<p>Designed by SOM and Field Operations, the High Line - Moynihan Connector takes the form of an elevated, 600-foot linear park that creates an episodic urban journey from the contemporary spaces of Midtown West to the verdant gardens and historic structure of the High Line. The Connector is composed of two bridges, the Timber Bridge and the Woodland Bridge, which have distinct identities that expand the High Line’s rich tapestry of experiences.</p>
