An Entity of Type: Truss bridge, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

The Whipple Cast and Wrought Iron Bowstring Truss Bridge (locally known as the Normanskill Farm Bridge), is located near the entrance to Stevens Farm in southwestern Albany, New York, United States. It was built in 1867, but not moved to its present location until 1899. It is one of the oldest surviving iron bridges in the county, one of the few that use both cast and wrought iron and one of only two surviving examples of the Whipple bowstring truss type. In 1971 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the only bridge in the city of Albany so far to be listed individually.

  • El puente de arco tesado Whipple (nombre completo en inglés:Whipple Cast and Wrought Iron Bowstring Truss Bridge -es decir, Puente de celosía de arco tesado de hierro fundido y forjado Whipple-, también conocido localmente como Normanskill Farm Bridge), está ubicado cerca de la entrada a Stevens Farm en el suroeste de Albany, Nueva York, Estados Unidos. Fue construido en 1867, pero no se trasladó a su ubicación actual hasta 1899. Es uno de los puentes de hierro más antiguos del condado, uno de los pocos en los que se utilizó tanto fundición de hierro como hierro forjado, y uno de los dos únicos ejemplos conservados de la tipología de celosía de arco tesado de Whipple. En 1971 se incluyó en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos, el único puente en la ciudad de Albany hasta ahora incluido individualmente en la lista.​ Un constructor basado en Syracuse copió el diseño original del puente en celosía de Squire Whipple, cuya patente había expirado en el momento de su construcción. No se sabe dónde se encontraba originalmente;​ aunque se cree que se construyó originalmenteen en algún lugar al oeste de la ciudad, posiblemente en el condado de Schoharie. Cuando la antigua autopista de peaje de Albany y Delaware, hoy Delaware Avenue, se desvió en 1899 a lo que ahora es Normanskill Drive, se trasladó a su ubicación actual para que la granja Stevens fuera más accesible desde la carretera principal. Cuando la avenida de Delaware se convirtió en lo que hoy es la ruta NY 443, el tráfico en el puente se redujo, lo que permitió que la estructura siguiera en uso, aunque solo para automóviles. Posteriormente solo se permitió su uso peatonal, y está cerrado en invierno. La ciudad de Albany aprobó un proyecto de restauración a pequeña escala en 2012. (es)
  • The Whipple Cast and Wrought Iron Bowstring Truss Bridge (locally known as the Normanskill Farm Bridge), is located near the entrance to Stevens Farm in southwestern Albany, New York, United States. It was built in 1867, but not moved to its present location until 1899.

In 1971 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the only bridge in the city of Albany so far to be listed individually. A Syracuse-based builder copied Squire Whipple's original bowstring truss design, the patent for which had expired by the time of its construction. Where it was originally located is not known; it is believed to have been somewhere west of the city, possibly in Schoharie County. When the old Albany and Delaware Turnpike, today Delaware Avenue, was rerouted in 1899 to what is now Normanskill Drive, it was moved to its present location to make the farm more accessible from the main road. When Delaware was straightened out into what is today New York State Route 443 (NY 443), traffic on the bridge went down, allowing the bridge to remain in use, although only for cars. Today it is limited only to pedestrian use, and is closed in winter. The City of Albany approved a small-scale restoration project in 2012. (en)
