The Douglass-Anthony bridge, located in Rochester, New York, serves about 70,000 users daily and is vital for crossing the Genesee River via Interstate 490. New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently announced the conclusion of a $6.2 million painting project for this intricate steel arch structure, emphasizing its significance in connecting two regions while also symbolizing the legacies of civil rights leaders Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony. Constructed in 2007 as a part of the Western Gateway I-490 project, the Douglass-Anthony bridge replaced an older structure and has become a cultural icon, reminding the public of the contributions of Douglass and Anthony to civil rights and women's suffrage in the United States. As the bridge approaches its 20th anniversary, it is undergoing essential maintenance to ensure its longevity and continued safety for the tens of thousands who rely on it every day. Governor Hochul highlighted the importance of such infrastructure investments in her recent statement, making it clear that these projects are crucial for community connectivity and historical preservation.
