Lincoln Highway Hackensack River Bridge, Vertical-lift road bridge in Jersey City, United States.
The Lincoln Highway Hackensack River Bridge spans 1,480 feet across the waterway, featuring a 222-foot long lift span and 75-foot width for vehicle passage.
The bridge opened in 1954 after multiple predecessors, including an 1856 wooden bridge and a 1927 bascule bridge that experienced structural failures.
This structure forms part of the Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental roadway system connecting the eastern and western United States.
The bridge operates with four-hour notice requirements for maritime vessels, maintaining a 35-foot clearance at mean high water when closed.
The structure received designation as the Shawn Carson and Robert Nguyen Memorial Bridge in 2007, commemorating two police officers who lost their lives there.
