HIstory: It was the longest bridge in the world when it opened in 1888, and it will be the longest pedestrian bridge in the world when it reopens in October 2009. A fire destroyed the railroad portion of the bridge in 1974. After 34 years of dormancy, the Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad bridge is undergoing a makeover. Local officials and business owners hope it will bring millions of tourist dollars to Dutchess and Ulster counties each year. Click on the links below for more information.
