The Wiki says this bridge was bult in the late 1950's and opened May 26, 1959. The Castleton Bridge is a cantilever truss bridge over the Hudson River that carries the Berkshire Connector of the New York State Thruway. There is a $0.60 toll each way to cross this bridge; however, it is not collected at a noticeable toll barrier, but is rather collected as part of the Thruway's ticketed toll system. It costs at least $1.00 to cross, travelling between 22 and B1 on the Thruway. It is the northernmost road bridge on the Hudson with a toll. It is the only bridge on the Hudson with a toll in both directions. Every bridge south of this has an eastbound-only toll. This bridge is also sometimes called the Castleton-on-Hudson Bridge. The bridge is situated very close to the Alfred H. Smith Memorial Bridge used for rail traffic over the river.
Date Built: 05/26/1959
