The Vessel, a towering, honeycomb-like sculpture in Manhattan that was popular with tourists before a series of suicides forced its closure in 2021, will reopen Monday with new safety features. The 150-foot (46-meter) structure opened in 2019 as the centerpiece of the Hudson Yards development on Manhattan’s West Side.

The Vessel at Hudson Yards reopened to the public yesterday, three years after closing following a series of tragic suicides, and we took a sunset climb to see how the viewing platform looks with its new steel mesh.

After sitting silent for more than three years, a City attraction that was shrouded in a cloud of uncertainty has reopened with additional safety precautions in place.
