Baker Engineering NY has been selected by the New York City Department of Transportation, in conjunction with New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, to perform an in-depth inspection of High Bridge (circa 1848), New York City's oldest standing major bridge. Originally built to carry the Old Croton Aqueduct over the Harlem River, the first of its kind ever constructed in the United States, High Bridge soars 36.5m above the 189m wide Harlem River with a total length of 366m. This landmark structure also features a pedestrian walkway atop the aqueduct.
