About Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park
The Walkway Over the Hudson is a steel cantilever bridge crossing the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie and Highland in New York, United States. The structure was completed in 1889 as a double track railroad bridge, later known as the Poughkeepsie–Highland Railroad Bridge. Rail service ended in 1974 after a fire damaged part of the deck. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, with additional documentation recorded in 2008. It reopened on October 3, 2009 as a pedestrian walkway in the Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park. The New York State Bridge Authority owns the bridge structure.
