Troy-Menands Bridge
NY 378, City of Troy, NY 12180-8368, United States of America
(NY 378)
Troy-Menands Bridge carries the road from Conway to Doncaster over the Hudson River - Tidal section.
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 Troy-Menands Bridge
The Menands Bridge, officially known as the Troy-Menands Bridge, carries New York State Route 378 across the Hudson River in New York connecting Menands with Troy. A through truss span, it was built in 1933.
The bridge once featured a pair of elevating towers, as the bridge was once built to accommodate tall ships. The lifting device was removed in 1966, but the towers remained until their removal in the summer of 2000.
On August 14, 1998, confessed serial killer Gary Evans kicked out the side window of a police van while driving over the Menands Bridge, jumped out, and ran from police. When he was cornered, Evans jumped off the bridge to his death, plunging 65 ft (20 m) into the Hudson River. He had been arraigned the previous day on capital murder charges.
