Lower Hack Lift, Vertical-lift railway bridge in Jersey City, United States.
The Lower Hack Lift spans across the Hackensack River with three railway tracks, enabling both train transit and vessel passage beneath.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad commissioned engineer John Alexander Low Waddell to design this steel bridge, completed in 1928.
The bridge represents early 20th-century American railway engineering, documented in the Historic American Engineering Record of New Jersey.
New Jersey Transit operates the bridge, requiring one hour notice to the bridge tender for water vessel passage underneath.
One million pounds of steel materials were incorporated into the structure, demonstrating advanced construction techniques of the 1920s.
