The Squibb Park Bridge now stands as a testament to what’s possible when Swiss engineering meets New York infrastructure demands. This vital 450-foot connection between Brooklyn Heights and Brooklyn Bridge Park serves thousands of daily visitors while delivering uncompromised safety and spectacular harbor views.
Where Challenge Meets Swiss Precision
The Squibb Park Bridge renovation demanded a unique solution: replace a controversial wooden walkway with safe, durable infrastructure that wouldn’t compromise the spectacular harbor views that make this 450-foot crossing special. Working with Arup engineering and Turner Construction, the project required materials capable of withstanding New York’s demanding coastal environment.
