HHFT Bridge Receives Excellence in Design Award
GOA receives an Excellence in Design Award by the NYC Public Design Commission for Hudson Highland Fjord Trail Breakneck Bridge.
The proposed bridge at Breakneck will provide an essential connection for the planned 7.5-mile-long Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail, a linear park that will run between Beacon and Cold Spring, and affords visitors safe passage over the railroad tracks, reconnection to the riverbanks, and expansive views of the Hudson River, Storm King Mountain, and Breakneck Ridge. The structure will span over the Metro-North railroad tracks from Route 9D, down to the Hudson River banks, and adjacent to the Hudson River Drainage Chamber which is an early 20th-century structure part of the City’s Catskill Aqueduct system.
