A Rensselaer bridge has been renamed to honor a fallen hero.
The Washington Avenue Bridge will now be the CW2 Casey N. Frankoski Memorial Bridge, Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Monday.
The bridge on Washington Avenue crosses I-90 in Rensselaer.
Frankoski died in a military helicopter crash on the U.S.-Mexico border last March. She was a graduate of Columbia High School in East Greenbush.
New York Guardsmen John Grassia III of Rotterdam was also killed.
National Guard member Jacob Pratt of Rensselaer was seriously hurt.
