Collar City Bridge, Road bridge in Troy, United States.
The Collar City Bridge is a road bridge that crosses the Hudson River, connecting Colonie, Green Island, and Troy. The structure carries eight traffic lanes for Route 7 traffic across several municipalities.
The bridge was completed in 1981 after decades of planning and development. It established a key connection to Interstate 787 and has served the region since its opening.
The bridge's name reflects Troy's past as a major textile production hub, particularly for shirt collar manufacturing. This industrial legacy remains part of how locals and visitors understand the region's identity.
The bridge is well maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation, ensuring reliable conditions for drivers. Plan your crossing during off-peak hours if possible, as this is a heavily used route.
Below the bridge, 32 concrete support piers feature the Gems of Troy mural, created by artist Jade Warrick in 2021. This colorful installation adds an unexpected artistic touch to an otherwise functional structure.
