The Harbor walk was Opened in 2015, and is 3,880 feet long and tops New Bedford’s hurricane barrier on the east side of the city’s southern peninsula.

The cove walk opened in 2017 and is 5,500 feet long, and is lit at night making walking there anytime quite pleasant.

The Hurricane barriers themselves are a lot older construction started in 1962 and were dedicated in 1966, from what I understand the hurricane barrier remains the largest manmade structure on the east coast of the United States and provides security for industries, the fishing fleet, and hundreds of homes in residential neighborhoods

Here is another shot of the Walk about mid way round on the Cove Walk and you can see the walls built up as the Hurricane barrier

At the ends of the Hurricane walls there are barriers that can be closed, one between the New Bedford barrier and the Fairhaven one and across a couple of roads including this one at one end of the Cove Walk

This next shot shows one of the gates that can be closed if a Hurricane is approaching, they join the wall across the road to close of the barrier and provide protection
