Downtown Morristown Overhead Walkways

The Overhead Walkway System

Morristown is famous for its "SkyMart" overhead walkways, a rare second-story pedestrian skyway built in the 1960s that lets shoppers cross above the street traffic. The camera captures these elevated sidewalks arching over Main Street, an engineering curiosity found in few other American towns.

Historic Main Street

The view takes in rows of restored brick commercial buildings dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These storefronts and cornices house local shops, offices, and eateries that anchor the downtown commercial district.

Everyday Street Life

Watch the steady rhythm of small-city life as cars navigate the intersection and pedestrians move along the walkways and sidewalks. Seasonal patriotic bunting and banners often decorate the railings, adding local color to the scene.
