9-11 Memorial Bridge

The 9-11 Memorial Bridge is a concrete arch bridge that spans across Udall Mill Pond, linking two residential communities on either side of the water. It connects Bayview Avenue in Saddle Rock to West Shore Road in Kings Point.

Originally known as Saddle Rock Bridge, this structure was renamed in honor of those who died in the September 11 attacks during a formal ceremony that December. The renaming marked a turning point when the bridge became a lasting memorial for the community.

The bridge functions as a gathering place where the local community comes together for yearly remembrance events. Residents use this crossing as a meaningful location to honor shared loss and reflect on what the day represents to their neighborhood.

The bridge is open to both pedestrians and vehicles, offering straightforward access between the two neighborhoods. Visitors planning to attend a memorial gathering should visit around Patriot Day in September when community remembrance events take place.

A memorial plaque on the bridge specifically honors residents from the Great Neck area who died in the attacks. This local connection makes the site feel particularly personal to those who live in the surrounding neighborhoods.
