New Bridge at Lincoln Center To Open Monday

By ROBIN POGREBIN

Lincoln Center is to mark the completion of its six-year, $1.2 billion redevelopment project Monday with the dedication of a new West 65th Street bridge, the project's final element.

Called The President's Bridge, named in honor of Reynold Levy, who recently announced his plans to resign, the bridge spans West 65th Street near Amsterdam Avenue and was designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the lead architects of the redevelopment.

Made of steel and glass railings, the 83-foot bridge connects the upper level plaza of the Rose Building (and adjacent Walter Reade Theater and the Juilliard School) to the public spaces, concert halls, theaters, library, and eating areas on the south side of Lincoln Center's campus.
