The Vessel at Hudson Yards Set to Reopen With Enhanced Safety Measures

The iconic Manhattan structure, closed since 2021 due to suicides, will feature new steel mesh barriers to improve safety.

The Vessel at Hudson Yards, closed since early 2021 following multiple suicides, is scheduled to reopen later this year with significant safety upgrades.
New safety features include floor-to-ceiling steel mesh on several levels, designed to prevent further tragedies while preserving views.
The top level of The Vessel will remain closed to the public, with only certain areas of the middle levels accessible.
Community leaders and safety advocates have praised the new safety measures, though some believe they should have been implemented sooner.
No exact date for the reopening has been announced, but Hudson Yards officials express eagerness to welcome back visitors.
