NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 10: A man looks out from the High Bridge, the city's oldest standing bridge, after it recently opened for the first time since it was closed in the early 1970s on June 10, 2015 in New York City. The bridge, which connects Manhattan and the Bronx and spans over the Harlem River, connects 130 acres of parks in the two boroughs. The bridge opened as part of an aqueduct in the mid-1800s to carry water from the Croton River to upper Manhattan which was running short of water at the time. A walkway was added in 1864. Restorations of the 123-foot tall bridge began in 2012 by the Park Department and cost over $60 million. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
