Mine Dock Road Bridge

Mine Dock Road Bridge

The Mine Dock Road Bridge carries US Route 9W over Mine Dock Road and Black Creek in Fort Montgomery, New York.


During the early 1930s, New York began to plan for the construction of a new four-lane highway between Bear Mountain Bridge and Cornwall-on-Hudson. This was to bypass the narrow Storm King Highway. 3 Construction started in 1935 and was completed in 1941. Part of this project included the construction of a three steel arch bridge to cross Black Creek and the cableway of the Dean Iron Mine Company, which was used to transport iron ore to awaiting ships on the Hudson River. 2 A $481,546 contract was let on November 26, 1935, 1 for its erection and it was completed in 1936.

The Mine Dock Road Bridge was rehabilitated in 1985.
