Crescent Bridge, Road bridge in Crescent, New York, United States
The Crescent Bridge spans 1,229 feet over the Mohawk River and Erie Canal, connecting Colonie in Albany County with Halfmoon in Saratoga County.
The current steel girder bridge, completed in 1996, replaced earlier structures dating back to 1825 when the first wooden Erie Canal Aqueduct crossed this location.
The bridge marks the location where the Erie Canal transportation system contributed to the development of trade and commerce in upstate New York.
The bridge carries U.S. Route 9 traffic with an 80-foot width and supports a load capacity of 79 tons for vehicles crossing the Mohawk River.
The bridge stands where a monumental 26-arch stone aqueduct operated from 1842 to 1915, measuring 1,137 feet in length for canal boat transportation.
