Work Crews Are at the Dix Bridge
Once it's renovated, Dix Bridge in Northumberland will serve as
Canalway Trail crossing for hikers, bikers and snowmobilers
By CAITLIN MORRIS
Published in the Saratogian: Wednesday, January 09, 2013
By next December, the Dix Bridge in Northumberland is projected to be fully
rehabilitated and revamped for use by hikers, bikers and snowmobilers.
The 426-foot-long bridge crosses the Hudson River near Hudson Crossing Park, just north of Schuylerville at
Champlain Canal Lock 5. Once it is open, the bridge will be the local crossing for the 546-mile-long state Canalway
Trail.
Plans for the project have been in the works for close to 10 years. The bridge work — expected to cost $2.4 million
— is being funded primarily by the federal government. A federal grant for 80 percent of the project's cost was
awarded in 2009.
Because Saratoga County agreed to match $700,000, federal funds became available to pay for the rest of the
rehabilitation.
We are thrilled to announce the return of Hudson
Crossing's signature events for the coming year.
As always, the Park will be busy with many more events
and occasions as they are added every month. Keep up
with all of these additions by following our monthly
newsflashes and checking our website regularly.

Sensory Trail and Kayak Launch projects are under way.
Learn more about this unique trail in our Virtual Tour.
The "Voices of Hudson Crossing Park" have been selected and they are working on
their recordings of 16 scripts. As you walk the Riverwalk Sensory Trail you will see
four Tour-Mate Eco Box units like the one pictured here. Turn a crank (not shown)
and press one of the four buttons to hear audios pertaining to:
1. Natural Forces and Native People
2. Conflict and Settlement
3. Corridor of Commerce
4. Magnet for Tourism
We are working to have these ready and in place for the trail ribbon cutting ceremony on
June 15th. We now present these units on the virtual Riverwalk Sensory Trail on this site.
A select group of 30 artists, who participated in our 2011 and
2012 shows, have been invited to enter new creations at the
Espressohuis. Their creativity will make this a very special
exhibition and one you will not want to miss.
In addition, on the deck will be sculptures by award winning
local sculptor Jenny Horstman.
Watch the deck for flying art in May.
The Recycled Art Salon Show is a special exhibit designed to
coincide with Earth Week Commemoration activities
sponsored by Hudson Crossing Park.
