Description
Designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould, Glen Span was built in 1865. It originally featured wooden trestles, rock pier supports, and a wooden railing. The arch was reconstructed about 20 years later, with its wooden portions replaced with rustic light-gray gneiss rock. The arch is decorated with geometrically shaped stones and small hollowed grottos embedded in its underpass. The structure spans 16 feet wide and over 18 feet high, carrying the West Drive above while a narrow footpath runs under it along the water.
