Bayonne Bridge, Steel arch bridge in Staten Island, United States.
The Bayonne Bridge stretches across the Kill Van Kull waterway, connecting Staten Island in New York to Bayonne in New Jersey with its 1,761-meter span.
Architect Cass Gilbert and engineer Othmar Ammann designed this steel arch bridge, which opened on November 15, 1931, as the longest of its type worldwide.
The bridge structure represents American engineering advancement of the 1930s, demonstrating the capabilities of steel construction and architectural design of that period.
The bridge incorporates E-ZPass technology and operates under a cashless tolling system, allowing vehicles to maintain continuous flow without stopping at toll booths.
During World War II, the area beneath the Staten Island approach served as a uranium storage location for the Manhattan Project operations.
