On June 5, ten years after New York’s High Line Park opened and took the world by storm, its final segment is now complete. The Spur, designed by the original High Line team led by landscape architect James Corner Field Operations with architect Diller, Scofidio + Renfro, transforms a half-block-long extension of the once-abandoned railroad trestle. The entire 1.4-mile park, with its elevated vistas of the surrounding city, draws millions of visitors every year to the improbable wild garden planted on the old viaduct.
The Spur hugs the southern edge of the Hudson Yards megadevelopment on Manhattan’s West Side at West 30th Street and Tenth Avenue. It pulls away from the main viaduct to run through massive piers holding up the 10 Hudson Yards office tower (designed by KPF). Between the piers of the shadowy 60-foot-tall passage, delicate wood-floored balconies project over the sidewalk below, offering kaleidoscopic views of the surroundings and a look back along the original High Line.
