Duncomb Arched Bridges, part of the original Bronx River Parkway, mark the entrance to the Bronx River Forest.Constructed in 1918, the stairway in the center was meant for boat access and is now part of the walking path along the Bronx River Greenway. Look for coconut-fiber coir logs, tree trunks staked to the river’s edge, and boulder vanes placed at angles in the water used to slow erosion and regenerate the banks.
