Walkway Over the Hudson
The Walkway Over the Hudson is a pedestrian bridge located in New York, spanning the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie and Highland. It is the longest elevated pedestrian bridge in the world, measuring about 1.28 miles in length. Opened in 2009, the walkway offers stunning views of the river and surrounding landscapes, making it a popular destination for walkers, joggers, and cyclists.
Originally built as a railroad bridge in 1888, the structure was repurposed for public use after extensive renovations. The Walkway Over the Hudson is part of the Hudson Valley Rail Trail and connects to various parks and recreational areas, enhancing local tourism and outdoor activities.
