Hackensack Drawbridge, Railway bridge in Jersey City, United States.
The Hackensack Drawbridge spans across the Hackensack River with double tracks connecting Jersey City and Kearny in New Jersey.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey opened this steel drawbridge in 1869 to establish a rail connection between Newark and Jersey City terminals.
The bridge supported regional transportation patterns by enabling passenger transfers between rail services and ferries heading to New York City.
The structure stood 75 feet tall and underwent modifications in 1913 that raised the rail line by 30 feet to accommodate river traffic.
A collision with the SS Jagger Seam in 1946 destroyed two spans of the bridge, leading to its permanent closure and subsequent dismantling.
