SouthEast Reservoir Bridge (East 85th Street) #24 - Built in 1864 by Calvert Vaux and the Cornell Ironworks. Cast iron/steel pedestrian bridge. Carries a park path over the bridle path south of the Reservoir and just east of West Drive around 86th Street.
Unlike other cast iron bridges in Central Park, South East Reservoir Bridge is distinguished by a flat platform instead of an arched one (or not distinguished…).
Like its sister, South West Reservoir Bridge, this bridge has also been reconstructed. In 1989 its concrete deck was replaced with a tongue and groove wood deck, and it got new railings to approximate the original ones from 1865.
