A very wide, car free bridge over the Hudson River just North of the Mid-Hudson Bridge in Poughkeepsie, NY. It is open from 7am-sunset everyday (weather permitting), and has bathrooms at either end.
Bikes and Bridges
I've had a few harrowing experiences traversing unfamiliar bridges by bike and thought how it would be nice to have known ahead of time what I was getting into. [WORK IN PROGRESS]

Ben Franklin
Connects Philadelphia to West Camden. Only one of the two concrete sidewalks usually open at one time (open dawn to dusk? Closed during inclement weather), narrows and ends in staircase on Jersey side, accessible from Race St. in Philly. Well maintained.

Tacony-Palmyra
Sidewalks on either side (usually only one open at a time), approach from the same roads the cars take, narrow concrete sidewalks on ends with wooden beams in middle, signs say you must walk but I have yet to be hassled, no hours posted (appears 24 hour access). Seems well maintained. Connects NE Philadelphia (Tacony) with Palmyra, NJ (Rt. 73).
