Swing Bridge at New Bridge Landing
Swing Bridge at New Bridge Landing, Historic swing bridge at New Bridge Landing, New Jersey, United States.
The iron bridge spans across the Hackensack River, connecting Main Street with Old New Bridge Road in New Milford through its mechanical rotation system.
General George Washington and his troops crossed the original wooden bridge at this location during their retreat from Fort Lee in November 1776.
The structure represents a significant example of late 19th-century engineering methods, demonstrating the evolution of transportation infrastructure in the region.
The bridge now serves as a pedestrian crossing, offering access to the surrounding historical site with nearby parking facilities and information centers.
Bergen County installed this iron swing bridge in 1889 to replace earlier wooden drawbridges, improving river traffic flow with its dual-lane opening mechanism.
