Mid-Hudson Bridge

Mid-Hudson Bridge, Oakes Road, Highland Landing, NY 12528, United States of America

Mid-Hudson Bridge carries the M62 motorway over the Hudson River - Tidal section between Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Peterborough.

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.
