Newburgh–Beacon Bridge

 
Newburgh-Beacon Bridge, Balmville, NY 12508, United States of America (I 84;NY 52)
 

Newburgh–Beacon Bridge carries a farm track over the Hudson River - Tidal section near to Prescorn Boat Lift.

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.

Wikipedia has a page about Newburgh–Beacon Bridge

The Hamilton Fish Newburgh–Beacon Bridge is a cantilever toll bridge that spans the Hudson River in New York State. The bridge carries Interstate 84 (I-84) and New York State Route 52 (NY 52) between Newburgh and Beacon. Consisting of two separate spans, the original northern span which carries westbound traffic, was opened on November 2, 1963, as a two-lane (one in each direction) bridge. A second span completed in 1980, now carries all eastbound traffic. Still often referred to by its original name, the Newburgh–Beacon Bridge, in 1997 the bridge was rededicated in honor of Hamilton Fish who was a Governor of New York, Lieutenant Governor, United States Senator from New York, U.S. Secretary of State, a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New York's 6th congressional district, and a patriarch of the prominent Fish family.
