Mid-Hudson Bridge, Suspension bridge in Highland, New York, United States
The Mid-Hudson Bridge extends 3,000 feet across the Hudson River, connecting the communities of Poughkeepsie and Highland with steel towers and suspended cables.
The bridge construction started in 1925 under the New York State Department of Public Works, with Polish engineer Ralph Modjeski leading the technical development.
Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt attended the opening ceremony in 1930, marking a milestone in the development of Hudson Valley transportation infrastructure.
The bridge operates with electronic toll collection in the eastbound direction, serving as a crossing point for US Route 44 and NY Route 55.
In 2009, the bridge structure became a musical instrument through the Bridge Music project, producing sounds from its architectural elements.
