Rip Van Winkle Bridge, Cantilever bridge between Hudson and Catskill, United States.
The Rip Van Winkle Bridge extends 5,040 feet across the Hudson River with a main cantilever span of 800 feet and side spans of 470 feet each.
The New York State Bridge Authority constructed this transportation link in 1935 at a cost of 2.4 million dollars during the Great Depression era.
The bridge forms part of the Hudson River Skywalk, connecting the former residences of Hudson River School painters Thomas Cole and Frederic Church.
The structure carries NY Route 23 across the Hudson River with electronic tolling systems for eastbound traffic and provides 145 feet of clearance for water vessels.
The bridge includes a pedestrian walkway on its south side that remains open from sunrise to sunset, allowing cyclists to walk their bicycles across.
