Riparius Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Warren County, New York
Riparius Bridge is a steel truss bridge that spans the Hudson River, connecting Johnsburg and Chestertown via New York State Route 8. The two-lane structure accommodates vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians in a single crossing.
Built in 2003, this bridge replaced a 1919 structure that once served the Delaware and Hudson Railroad station. The replacement reflected changing transportation patterns in the region.
The name comes from the Latin word Riparius, meaning belonging to a river bank. Residents and travelers use this crossing as part of their everyday routes through the upper Hudson Valley.
The bridge is open year-round for traffic and receives regular maintenance checks by the New York State Department of Transportation. Visitors should be prepared for typical road conditions while crossing.
During winter months, the bridge provides access to local skiing areas while offering direct views of the Hudson River from its 300-foot span.
