William Cullen Bryant Viaduct, Road bridge in Nassau County, United States
The William Cullen Bryant Viaduct spans Hempstead Harbor with four traffic lanes connecting the villages of Flower Hill and Roslyn in Long Island.
The original viaduct opened in 1949 under Governor Thomas E Dewey to reduce traffic congestion in downtown Roslyn's Main Street and Old Northern Boulevard.
The bridge received its name in 2012 to commemorate William Cullen Bryant, a prominent poet and journalist who lived in Roslyn since 1843.
The current structure, completed in 2012, features wider shoulders, improved walkways, and enhanced drainage systems to accommodate 38,000 vehicles daily.
The replacement bridge marked engineering advancement in the region as the first local structure built using precast concrete segments.
