The Hudson World Bridge is conceived as part of the future development of the Manhattan’s Far West Side. Its proposed location is adjacent to the Javits Center, continuing on the axis of 34th street from the Westside Highway across the Hudson River to New Jersey. The introduction of a world scale project to this area will shift Manhattan’s center of gravity towards the Hudson River. Together with the future development of the neighboring Hudson Yards, the bridge will draw a substantial amount of commercial, residential and cultural activities to the area. The Hudson World Bridge, with its unique suspended structure and pedestrian Green Park between New York and New Jersey, is intended to be a world landmark, attracting tourists from all nations. It is a bridge and a destination in itself. The bridge contains two major parts. The first is the Green Park which includes recreation, commercial and cultural facilities, and the second is the Cloud which hangs over the park. The main function of the Cloud is to offer public and private exhibition space for trade shows and galleries. The Cloud contains many green terraces and a large roof garden. At night, the bridge will be distinctly illuminated. The bridge has been structurally engineered so as to include its own inner transportation, consisting of elevators, cable cars, escalators and moving sidewalks. It is connected to the outside roads by special ramps, providing access to supplies and emergency facilities. The bridge is one mile long and 250’ wide at its center. It clears 250’ above water. The total area of the Green Park is 500,000 s.f, and the total usable space of the Cloud is 1 million s.f. See the 3D model in Google Earth. (It requires Google Earth to see the model.) |
