Central Park New York Bow Bridge

The Bow Bridge Arch. The Dakota Apartment Building on West 72nd and Central Park West is visible under the arch to the left. Bow Bridge is one of the most iconic of all the Central Park bridges. One of the seven original cast iron bridges built in Central Park during the years 1859-1875, Bow Bridge became a popular backdrop for ice skaters and boaters. The abutments of Bow's interior consist of cannon balls used as movable bearings at the end of the span allowing the cast iron to expand and contract 2 to 3 inches during the summer and winter months. The bridge is 15 feet 8 inches wide and its arch rises 9 feet 6 inches above the level of the Lake. The balustrade is 142-feet long with a wooden walkway. Since it's construction in the 1800's, Bow Bridge was renovated in 1974 and again in 1998. Vases atop the end posts that were part of the bridge's original ornamental design were not restored.
