Stone arch pedestrian bridge (New Brunswick sandstone)
Separates two intersecting park paths just West of Fifth Avenue at 79th Street

This bridge used to carry a carriage path that linked East Drive with an entrance at 79th Street. The carriage path was converted to a pedestrian path, probably sometime in the early 20th century when carriages were outmoded by automobiles.
