Albany Street Bridge, Road bridge over Raritan River in New Brunswick, United States
The Albany Street Bridge spans 595 feet across the Raritan River, connecting the municipalities of New Brunswick and Highland Park in New Jersey.
The bridge construction in 1887 replaced an earlier wooden toll structure from 1795, marking a transformation in regional transportation infrastructure.
The bridge location near Rutgers University supported the development of collegiate rowing activities, with the first intercollegiate competition held in 1870.
The structure carries Route 27 traffic with a width of 41 feet and maintains a clearance of 21 feet above the water level.
The bridge incorporated stone arch design elements during its construction, which remain visible from the riverbanks despite subsequent modifications.
