Unlike other cast iron bridges in Central Park, SE Reservoir Bridge is distinguished by a flat platform instead of an arched one. Like its sister, SW Reservoir Bridge, this bridge has also been reconstructed. In 1989 its concrete deck was replaced with a tongue and groove wood deck, and it got new railings to approximate the original ones from 1865.

Location: Park path over bridle path just west of 5th Avenue near The Reservoir at approximately 86th Street. Built: 1865 by Vaux and the Cornell Ironworks. Made of cast iron and steel.
