Newburgh–Beacon Bridge, Steel cantilever bridge in Hudson Valley, New York
The Newburgh-Beacon Bridge consists of two parallel steel structures spanning 7,855 feet across the Hudson River between Orange and Dutchess counties.
The bridge replaced a centuries-old ferry service when its north span opened in 1963, followed by the south span construction in 1980.
The structure received the ceremonial name Hamilton Fish Newburgh-Beacon Bridge to honor two generations of United States Representatives from New York.
The bridge carries Interstate 84 and New York State Route 52 traffic, with electronic toll collection implemented in 2021 for eastbound vehicles.
The structure incorporates weathering steel throughout its construction, setting a record as the longest bridge built with this material when completed.
