POUGHKEEPSIE, NEW YORK VICINITY MAP & GUIDE The nonprofit group Walkway Over the Hudson serves as a “friends group” providing vital support for the Walkway, which is operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. The friends group oversees fundraising and planning efforts aimed at improving the park and presents programming and events designed to educate and entertain the park’s many visitors. The Walkway group also recruits volunteers to serve as docents, ambassadors, and support staff. This critical mission depends upon committed and engaged members. Please consider supporting the Walkway by becoming a member of the Walkway Over the Hudson friends group. Visit www.walkway.org to learn how to become a Walkway member or contribute to this extraordinary recreational resource. A Brief History When you visit the Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park you’ll be standing on an important pillar of American history. Before it became the Walkway, this massive 1.28-mile steel structure was known as the Poughkeepsie- Highland Railroad Bridge, an Industrial Age superstar that once bore the weight of 3,500 freight cars a day! When trains began rumbling over the bridge in 1888, it was the longest bridge in the world— a title it held for over a year. It became a key transportation hub linking western raw materials to eastern industrial centers, until a fire in 1974 crippled the railroad bridge and it fell into disrepair and an uncertain future. It took another 35 years before a grassroots nonprofit called Walkway Over the Hudson was able to successfully galvanize public and private support in the Hudson Valley and statewide to save the historic bridge and transform it into the Walkway State Park. The bridge re-opened on October 3, 2009 after a two-year construction effort. Today the Walkway is the longest elevated pedestrian park in the world, returning it to the record books after 121 years! A Truly Unique Park There is something truly captivating about the Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park. Since it opened to the public on October 3, 2009, this grand pathway in the sky has drawn 750,000 visitors who stroll, cycle, walk, jog, and roller blade over its mighty steel trusses. They come to gaze at the picturesque Hudson River flowing 212 feet below, to immerse themselves in solitude, and to reflect in an especially pleasant setting. The Walkway is truly a special place. It represents a people’s shared desire to preserve the best of our history, our culture, and our spirit, and stands today because the people of the Hudson Valley vowed to transform a crippled relic of the Industrial Age into something new and vital, something that will keep contributing to our society for another century. Thankfully, against all odds, they succeeded. Come to the Walkway…and see what everyone’s talking about!

Each of the 4 river piers contains 40,000 tons of timber, stone and concrete. • The original construction cost to complete the bridge in 1888 was $3.6 million. The cost to recon- struct the Walkway in 2009 was $38 million. The cost to demolish the structure would have been well over $50 million. • Additional riverfront access is planned via an el- evator and staircase.
