Dunn Memorial Bridge, Road bridge across Hudson River in Albany, United States.
Description
The Dunn Memorial Bridge is a road bridge that spans the Hudson River between Albany and Rensselaer, carrying US Routes 9 and 20 across the water. Its steel girder construction provides a wide roadway designed for substantial daily traffic flow.
History
Built between 1967 and 1969, the bridge replaced an earlier structure from 1933 that featured a movable center section for river navigation. This replacement allowed for a more modern crossing of the Hudson River.
Culture
The bridge commemorates Parker F. Dunn, an Albany native who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during World War I on the Western Front.
Practical
The bridge is one of the few toll-free crossings of the Hudson River in this area and features a pedestrian walkway on the north side. Visitors can use the bridge for both walking and driving between the two riverbanks.
Did you know?
At the eastern end of the bridge sits an unfinished section that was originally planned as a connection to the South Mall Expressway toward Interstate 90. This piece of infrastructure stands as a reminder of ambitious plans that were never fully realized.
