The Troy–Waterford Bridge carries U.S. Route 4 across the Hudson River in New York connecting Waterford with Troy. The bridge is two lanes wide, with sidewalks on both sides. The bridge serves as a replacement for the 1804-built Union Bridge, which burned on July 10, 1909.[1]
The Waterford Bridges, which include the current bridge and the original 1804 bridge, were designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2013.[2][3]
The Troy–Waterford Bridge uses the same piers as the original 1804 bridge,[4] and if that bridge is counted, it was the first bridge across the Hudson River south of the Adirondacks. At first it carried pedestrians and horse drawn vehicles, but a railroad track was added to it when the locomotive was invented. The current bridge has no railroad tracks.
