Walkway over the Hudson – Photography, Images and Cameras

A while back I went for a walk over the Walkway over the Hudson. It’s a steel bridge spanning the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie, New York, on the east bank and Highland, New York, on the west bank. Built as a double track railroad bridge, it was completed on January 1, 1889. A fire caused it to be taken out of service in 1974. It was reopened on October 3, 2009, as a pedestrian walkway, part of the Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park. It claims to the world’s longest elevated pedestrian bridge.

Even though it opened it 2009, this was my first visit. I was impressed by the stunning views.
