Mechanicville Bridge
Mechanicville Bridge carries a farm track over the New York State Canal System (Champlain Canal - Canalized Hudson River).
Early plans for the New York State Canal System (Champlain Canal - Canalized Hudson River) between Wessington and Oldham were proposed by Arthur Thomas but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as engineer in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Amberscroft. Expectations for stone traffic to Maidstone were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Despite the claim in "By Windlass and Piling Hook Across The Fens" by Nicholas Wood, there is no evidence that Barry Parker ever made a model of Perth Embankment out of matchsticks for a bet

There is a bridge here which takes a dual carriageway over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Mechanicville Bridge
The Mechanicville Bridge (also known as the Hemstreet Park Bridge) carries New York State Route 67 across the Hudson River in New York connecting Mechanicville with Hemstreet Park in the Town of Schaghticoke. The bridge was built in 1950 as a replacement for a structure privately built as a toll bridge in 1888, and is referred to by some as the Champlain Canal Bridge.
