Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Elevated walkway in Brooklyn Heights, United States
The Brooklyn Heights Promenade extends 1,826 feet along the East River, offering views of Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor from its elevated position.
The construction of the promenade resulted from a 1941 community opposition to Robert Moses' plan to route the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway through the neighborhood.
The Promenade functions as a centerpiece of the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, where residents and visitors gather for recreational activities throughout the year.
Access points to the Promenade include Remsen Street, Orange Street, Montague Street, Pierrepont Place, Clark Street, and Pineapple Street.
The structure utilizes a triple cantilever design, with the pedestrian walkway positioned above two levels of expressway traffic lanes.
