The Vessel, a popular sculpture in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards that closed after four suicides, has reopened with new safety features including steel safety mesh along the perimeter. The iconic architectural structure, designed by Thomas Heatherwick, offers visitors stunning views of the West Side and the Hudson River. Despite being closed for over a year, The Vessel reopened this week to the public with restrictions in place and tickets available for purchase online. The business that owns the Hudson Yards development, Related Companies, did not provide a comment on the reopening. The sculpture attracts about 2 million visitors annually and offers unique views that change daily. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available by calling or texting 988 or visiting 988lifeline.org. The reopening of The Vessel has brought hope to local businesses in the area, who are optimistic that more visitors will start coming back.
