Bear Mountain Bridge, Suspension bridge in Hudson Valley, United States
The Bear Mountain Bridge spans 687 meters across the Hudson River, connecting Cortlandt and Stony Point with steel construction and concrete deck.
Upon its completion in November 1924, the Bear Mountain Bridge held the record for the longest suspension bridge span until the Benjamin Franklin Bridge opened.
The Appalachian Trail crosses the Bear Mountain Bridge, making it a notable connection point for hikers traversing the eastern United States.
The bridge carries vehicles and pedestrians across its 15-meter-wide deck, with toll collection for northbound traffic entering Rockland County.
The structure rises 110 meters above the Hudson River and features a central span of 497 meters supported by steel cables.
