Walkway Over the Hudson

The long span offers a distinctive way to experience the Hudson River landscape and the engineering scale of a historic rail route.

Check current bridge hours, wind and weather notices before choosing an entrance. The black-and-white photograph depicts the bridge during its railroad era, before conversion to a public walkway. Elevator operation and parking arrangements differ between access points, so plan the return journey as well as the crossing. Stay within permitted areas and follow current rules for cycling, dogs and special events.
