NYC's Vessel Reopens with New Safety Measures After Suicides

The popular Hudson Yards attraction now features steel mesh barriers and limited access to prevent further tragedies.

The Vessel, a 150-foot structure in Hudson Yards, has reopened after being closed since 2021 due to multiple suicides.
New safety features include floor-to-ceiling steel mesh barriers and the closure of the top level to visitors.
Critics argue that the new safety measures detract from the experience, while others see them as necessary for public safety.
General admission remains at $10, with free access for New York City residents on Thursdays.
The structure, designed by Thomas Heatherwick, continues to draw tourists despite mixed reactions to the changes.
