Dock Bridge, Railway bridge in Newark, US
The Dock Bridge consists of three parallel bridges with two lift spans crossing the Passaic River between Newark and Harrison in New Jersey.
The Pennsylvania Railroad constructed the western span of Dock Bridge in 1935, followed by the eastern span completion in 1937 for Manhattan Railroad services.
The National Register of Historic Places recognizes Dock Bridge for its engineering excellence and role in Northeast Corridor transportation development.
The bridge carries six railroad tracks divided between Amtrak, New Jersey Transit, and PATH trains, connecting Newark Penn Station to New York City.
The western span measured 230 feet over bearings upon completion, establishing a record length for three-track lift spans worldwide.
