Bridge 8, Erie Canal
Bridge 8, known locally as the Rexford Bridge, is a four-lane bridge crossing the Mohawk River (Erie Canal) northeast of the city of Schenectady in New York, United States. It carries New York State Route 146 (NY 146) from Schenectady County to Rexford, a hamlet in the Saratoga County town of Clifton Park. Near the bridge is the historic remains of the 1842 Erie Canal Aqueduct. The 1842 aqueduct replaced the original 1824 aqueduct at this site when the Erie Canal was enlarged during the years of 1835–1862. The aqueduct was demolished in 1918 upgrades to form the New York State Barge Canal. Three of the 14 arches can still be seen today, one on the Saratoga side and two on the Schenectady side.
