PATH Lift Bridge, Railway vertical-lift bridge in Jersey City, New Jersey, US.
The PATH Lift Bridge spans across the Hackensack River, connecting Kearny and Jersey City through a steel vertical-lift mechanism for rail transportation.
Built in 1900, the bridge incorporated industrial engineering methods of the early twentieth century, establishing a vital transportation link between New Jersey communities.
The structure stands as a representation of industrial engineering, connecting New Jersey residents to Manhattan through the PATH transit system.
The bridge performs lifting operations upon request for maritime traffic, requiring an eight-minute sequence of safety checks and clearance procedures.
The structure employs 450-ton concrete counterweights within its mechanism to balance and facilitate the vertical movement of the central span.
