Postcard via Historic Bridges
"This is a rare surviving example of a urban pin-connected truss bridge over a major river....This bridge sits at the site of the first bridge over the Hudson River."
The 743' (227m) long bridge has a main span of 200' (61m).

Waterford is where the Erie Canal joins the Hudson River.

It makes sense that the first bridge was a covered bridge.
