Four individuals took their lives at the Vessel during an 18-month span ending in July 2021, which ultimately led to its closure. Back in April, a spokesperson for Hudson Yards confirmed that an upgraded safety plan would allow the architectural honeycomb to reopen, with changes made to ensure the safety of all guests.

Related Companies, which owns Hudson Yards, closed the structure briefly after the third suicide in 2021 – then reopened it a short time later with a new $10 admission fee, suicide prevention signs and a rule that banned solo visitors. However, it was still lacking the kinds of barriers that city and local community board officials requested.

A climbable sculpture in Manhattan that was popular with tourists before a series of suicides forced its closure in 2021 will reopen Monday with new safety features.
