The Vessel in Hudson Yards reopened on Monday with floor-to-ceiling, cut-proof and water-resistant steel mesh barriers enclosing its stairways and platforms.

Considered the centerpiece of Hudson Yards — a project led by global real estate firm The Related Cos. — the Vessel briefly reopened that year but only for several weeks before the fourth person, a 14-year-old boy, leapt to his death in July 2021.

After sitting silent for more than three years, a City attraction that was shrouded in a cloud of uncertainty has reopened with additional safety precautions in place.
