| A great spot to water ski! |
The Newburgh Beacon Bridge is the last of the Mid Hudson bridges to be built. It has two spans carrying the
most traffic of all the NYSBA bridges (25 million vehicles per year). The first span (north) went up in 1963 and the south span went up in 1980.

| A beautiful cantilever bridge |
Though a cantilever bridge, I find the Newburgh Beacon Bridge to be quite beautiful. Some great views can be had from both Newburgh and Beacon. A climb up Mt Beacon also rewards the hiker a great view of the bridge. But the best view is probably from the Hudson itself.
