Bridging The Divide

In the late 1970s, New York State Department of Transportation demolished nine blocks of a commercial property and hundreds of homes to build the Hoosick Street Bridge in Troy, N.Y. Today, the bridge is a monument to division. Through The Uniting Line project, local artist Jade Warrick will install murals throughout the bridge's surface area to transform and beautify the space.
