Opened in 1957, this two-lane, under-deck truss bridge connects Ulster and Dutchess Counties across the Hudson River 111 miles north of New York City. It was designed by David Steinman, a famous bridge designer who got his start working under Gustav Lindenthal, the designer of the Queensboro and Hellgate Bridges in New York City.
The bridge was originally set to be built as a suspension bridge three miles south of its present location. When the location was changed, there was insufficient bedrock at the new site for anchorages, so the design was changed to the present configuration. A narrow pedestrian walkway was added in 2019 by taking over some of the roadway. Bicycles still have to share the roadway with cars and trucks.
This bridge is extremely framerate-friendly, as are all my bridges. At the lowest Level of Detail LOD), your rig only has to paint four faces,but it still looks like the real thing! It's part of my collection of over 40 New York City bridges.

I get some weird pattern with raymarched reflections set to high. You can see it in one of the gallery screenshots I uploaded. I then turned them off, and it was fine. 👍🏻

Looking into it. I can't reproduce it, but I believe you. I'll keep looking.
EDIT: Can't reproduce it on Ultra even, but I've got an idea: they put in some new photogrammetry, and I found I had to move the bounds of a suppression polygon for the Henry Hudson Bridge. I'll re-fly everything with this setting.
Thanks for the heads-up; more later.
