THE BRIDGE ACROSS TIME
This documentary explores saving the century-old Wurts Street Bridge, spanning the deep-water Rondout Harbor in New York’s Hudson Valley. The film captures the entire process; the science, engineering and artistry involved and the profound challenges behind the work. Rare archival footage contrasts the Wurts Street Bridge’s 1920 construction with its modern revival.
The story stands at the crossroads of a region shaped by innovative advances in technology and transportation. Once a thriving hub of the Industrial Revolution, the area’s consequential history has molded the fortunes and lives of its communities. This extraordinary renovation serves as an inspiring reminder of the need to safeguard the historic landmarks that anchor our shared heritage.
