The Double Arches site consists of two bridges of which span Sing Sing Kill: the first was constructed to carry the Old Croton Aqueduct, while the second, smaller bridge carries the Village street Broadway perpendicularly below it. Both were constructed in the 19th century and the Old Croton Aqueduct Bridge is listed on National Register of Historic Places as a component of the Old Croton Aqueduct System.

"Take me to the river" - Sculpture by Peter Lundberg at Ossining, NY waterfront.
I can't decide how I feel about this sculpture. I think it is the location that takes away from it for me. It is right on the Hudson River, near a condo construction site and the Metro North stop in Ossining. The Blue disc at the top was orange over the summer, and was replaced at some point with this blue one. Maybe it has something to do with the changing of the seasons?
"The Ossining Weir Chamber, located on the
Ann Street side of the Double Arch Bridge
promenade, is one of six such structures
located along the Old Croton Aqueduct. The
purpose of the weir chambers was to regulate the
flow of water along the aqueduct tunnel, allowing
water to be emptied into local waterways in the
event of flooding or when needed for maintenance
and repair of the tunnel. The weir chambers also
served as ventilators for the aqueduct system.
Inside the weir chamber is a large iron sluice
gate, the opening of which allowed water to drain
out of the tunnel into the Sing Sing Kill below.
When all of the weir chambers were opened,
the entire aqueduct could be drained in just two
hours. Today, the Ossining Weir Chamber is a
component of the Old Croton Aqueduct State
Historic Park. The organization “Friends of the
Croton Aqueduct” conducts periodic tours of the
Weir Chambers for the public, granting interested
parties access to the inside of the weir chamber
and aqueduct tunnel." (from thevillageofossining.org)
