Welcome Back to the High Bridge

Avraham Glattman

For the first time in over 49 years the pedestrian span known as the high bridge has

re-opened to pedestrians. The bridge is a pedestrian walkway connecting from 170th

street in the Bronx to 173rd street in Manhattan.

Kids from the Bronx can now easily travel to the pool and the park on the other side in Manhattan.

Residents have some concerns that now that connecting to manhattan is so accessible, (and the A/C trains just a few blocks away), developers will begin to eye the long-

ignored Bronx community called High bridge.
