Description
When the bridge formally opened in 1924, it was the longest suspension bridge span in the world, and the first of its type to have a concrete deck. The span connects the Palisades Interstate Parkway and U.S. Highway 9W on the west to New York State Route 9D on the east. It also carries the Appalachian Trail and New York State Bicycle Route 9 across the Hudson.
The span includes pedestrian walkways on both sides of the bridge. Cyclists are welcome on the roadway or may walk their cycles on the pedestrian walkway.
