"George Clinton Kingston-Rhinecliff" is the official name for this bridge. [NYCroads]

This bridge was designed by David Steinman. [HistoricBridges]

The clearance at the center above mean high water is 152' (46.3m). Because of shortages of steel and funding, the construction of the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge was delayed until after this bridge was completed. [nycroads]

GalvanizeIt
This bridge is one of the country's longest continuous deck truss bridges. Its rehabilitation in 2000-02 included a new, wider deck that was made with hot-dip galvanized steel for lower maintenance costs.

Christopher R Hernandez posted five photos with the comment: "Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge, Hudson River, NY opened 1957."
