The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Mid-Hudson Bridge is a suspension bridge crossing The Hudson river in Poughkeepsie, New York. The bridge was designed by Ralph Modjeski and was constructed between 1925 and 1930. The overall length of the bridge is 914 meters and the center span is 457 meters long. Clearance is 41 meters between the deck and waterline. The deck carries three road lanes of US 44 and NY 55 and two pedestrian lanes. The two steel towers are 96 meters tall and support the two 42 centimeter thick suspension cables that each consist of 6,080 individual wires. #Highland #Hudson_River #Hudson_River_Crossings #New_York #Poughkeepsie #Ralph_Modjeski
