Ardsley Road Bridge

Note the triangular shape of the piers and the stone clading that marks this structure as a Renaissance Revival design. The bridge was designed by Charles W. Stoughton and the design engineer was Arthur G. Hayden.

The bridge is referenced in Charles S. Whitney's 1929 book, Bridges: A Study In Their Art, Science and Evolution that was republished in 2002 as Bridges of the World and is shown in Plate 261.

This Renaissance Revival design influenced Whitney in his design of the Range Line Road Bridge in River Hills, Wisconsin.
