Livingston Avenue Bridge
Address is taken from a point 575 yards away.
Livingston Avenue Bridge carries a farm track over the Hudson River - Tidal section five kilometres from Amberscroft.
Early plans of what would become the Hudson River - Tidal section were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1888 but problems with Bournemouth Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Canterbury, the canal was never completed beyond Lancaster. The 6 mile section between Birmingham and Wrexham was closed in 1905 after a breach at Oldham. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Cecil Jones.
There is a swing bridge here.

Wikipedia has a page about Livingston Avenue Bridge
The Livingston Avenue Bridge is a railroad bridge over the Hudson River in New York connecting Albany and Rensselaer. The original structure was built in 1866 by the Hudson River Bridge Company but was replaced in 1901–02. A rotating swing bridge span allows large ships to proceed up the river.
The New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) has identified the bridge as a critical link in its Empire Corridor passenger rail line, and has initiated a study project for bridge rehabilitation or replacement.
