Review & FAQ:
Otherwise known as the Poughkeepsie Bridge, the Walkway Over the Hudson is a long bridge that connects Poughkeepsie on the east bank of the Hudson River and Highland on the west bank. Built as a double track railroad bridge in 1889, it was damaged by a fire in 1974, after which it earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places.
It was then restored as the Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park in 2009, a linear pedestrian walkway spanning the river at 212 feet tall and 1.28 miles long, making it the longest footbridge in the world. The park is open daily from sunrise to sunset.
