The Vessel, a prominent honeycomb-like sculpture in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards, is set to reopen on Monday after being closed since 2021 due to a series of tragic suicides. New safety measures, including floor-to-ceiling steel mesh barriers, have been installed, with only parts of the upper levels reopening to the public; the top level remains closed. Related Companies’ CEO Jeff T. Blau expressed excitement about welcoming visitors back, noting continued public interest during the closure. The structure, designed by Thomas Heatherwick, originally opened in 2019 and aims to attract tourists once again with these enhancements.
