Hudson River Way, Pedestrian bridge in Albany, United States
The Hudson River Way footbridge spans 650 feet across Interstate 787, connecting downtown Albany to the Corning Preserve on the Hudson River bank.
The New York State Department of Transportation contributed 3.3 million dollars through an Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act grant for the bridge construction in 2002.
Thirty concrete obelisk-lampposts along the bridge display detailed paintings depicting different periods of Albany's history, created using specialized German potassium silicate pigments.
The 24-foot-wide bridge accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists, providing direct access between Broadway in downtown Albany and the riverfront recreational areas.
Over 11,000 individuals, businesses, and organizations purchased personalized bricks that now form the walkway of this connecting structure.
