Poughkeepsie Bridge

The Poughkeepsie Bridge is a historic steel railroad bridge spanning the Hudson River in New York, connecting Poughkeepsie and Highland. Built in the late 19th century, it was originally used for train transportation, facilitating trade and movement between New York City and upstate regions. After closing to rail traffic in the 1970s, the bridge was transformed into the Walkway Over the Hudson, a pedestrian bridge offering scenic views andconnects communities. Its robust design and scenic location make it a significant infrastructure and recreational landmark in the area.
