The Menands Bridge, officially known as the Troy-Menands Bridge, carries New York State Route 378 across the Hudson River connecting Menands, New York with Troy, New York. A through truss span, it was built in 1959.
The bridge once featured a pair of elevating towers, as the bridge was once built to accommodate tall ships. The lifting device was removed in 1966, but the towers remained until their removal in the summer of 2000.
