New Jersey Route 158, Railway bridge in Newark, US
New Jersey Route 158 extends for 0.4 miles between Newark and Harrison, crossing the Passaic River with both road and rail levels.
The original bridge, constructed in 1834, started as a single-level railroad structure before receiving a second deck for rapid transit in 1911.
The bridge connected communities across Essex and Hudson counties, facilitating transportation between Newark and Harrison for both passengers and freight.
The lower level supported freight transportation while the upper level accommodated passenger travel until its conversion to vehicular traffic.
Ten workers lost their lives during improvement projects in 1901, marking one of the most severe construction incidents in the bridge's history.
