Former New York Governor Benjamin Odell drove the last rivet on October 9, 1924. The bridge cost a total of $6 million, of which $2 million was spent to construct the Bear Mountain Bridge Road towards Peekskill, a 3-mile (5 km) long approach road that was blasted out of granite alongside Anthony's Nose, 400 feet (122 m) above the Hudson River.

BEAR MOUNTAIN, NY—As Hudson River bridge crossings go, the cost of construction of the Bear Mountain Bridge was a real bargain. Back when it opened in 1924, spanning one of the narrowest sections of the Hudson River, the project took 20 months to complete at an initial cost of $2.9 million. In today's dollars, that's about $51 million for the 2,255-foot parallel wire cable suspension.
