The Central Park Conservancy (CPC) is a leader in park management dedicated to the preserving the legacy of urban parks and laying the foundations for future generations to benefit from these public landscapes. Central Park is a masterpiece of landscape architecture created to provide a scenic retreat from urban life for the enjoyment of all. Located in the heart of Manhattan, Central Park is the nation’s first major urban public space, attracting millions of visitors, both local and tourists alike. Covering 843 acres of land, this magnificent park was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1963 and as a New York City Scenic Landmark in 1974. As the organization entrusted with the responsibility of caring for New York’s most important public space, the Central Park Conservancy is founded on the belief that citizen leadership and private philanthropy are key to ensuring that the Park and its essential purpose endure. Conceived during the mid-19th century as a recreational space for residents who were overworked and living in cramped quarters, Central Park is just as revered today as a peaceful retreat from the day-to-day stresses of urban life — a place where millions of New Yorkers and visitors from around the world come to experience the scenic beauty of one of America’s greatest works of art.

  • Macombs Dam Historic Swing Bridge Seismic Retrofit Value Engineering Study, Bronx, NY—City of New York, Office of Management & Budget (OMB) Project Background
    Macombs Dam Historic Swing Bridge Seismic Retrofit Value Engineering Study, Bronx, NY—City of New York, Office of Management & Budget (OMB) Project Background. Opened to traffic in 1895 and designated a New York City landmark in 1992, The Macombs Dam Bridge is a through-truss swing bridge that spans the Harlem River linking the boroughs of the Bronx and Manhattan. It is the major vehicular route from Manhattan to the new Yankee Stadium, opened in 2009. In addition to crossing the Harlem River, the Macombs Dam Bridge crosses the Major Deegan Expressway, Metro North and CSX railroad tracks, and the parking lot for the Bronx Terminal Market. The 2,540-foot bridge features 78 spans of various types including a 1,362-foot long steel viaduct over West 155th Street; a 415-foot long center swing span with 150 feet of horizontal clearance through the two navigable channels and 28 feet of vertical clearance in the closed position; a 220-foot camelback truss; and several ramps and approaches. A two-stage electric engine powers the swing span. The substructure consists of steel column bents, concrete columns, and masonry piers. The center span rests on a center pier and can swing open to permit boat traffic through one of the two navigable channels. The foundation of the Manhattan pier was sunk on a pneumatic caisson to rock, as was the foundation of the center pier. The Bronx pier was built on rock also, but in an open sheet-pile dam, and from that point across the swamp to 161st Street the plans called for pile foundations.
