Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced March 20, the roughly one-mile long sidewalk of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge has been completely rebuilt by the New York State Bridge Authority with the addition of three scenic viewpoints, each 50 feet long by 10 feet wide. The scenic viewpoints will provide the public with unparalleled views of the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains, Cuomo said in a press release. Known as the Hudson River SkyWalk, the project will feature a pedestrian trail linking the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill and the Olana State Historic Site in Greenport. "This project is a perfect example of a successful public-private partnership between state and local partners promoting a unique part of New York State history and creating a timeless experience for generations to come," Cuomo said.
