Upper Hack Lift, Railway bridge in Secaucus, United States.
The Upper Hack Lift spans across the Hackensack River with a vertical lifting mechanism that allows passage for both trains and maritime vessels.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad constructed this bridge in 1958, completing it in March 1959 to replace a damaged swing span from 1901.
The bridge represents mid-20th century engineering advancements in New Jersey's transportation infrastructure, connecting multiple transit routes to Hoboken Terminal.
The bridge provides 8 feet of clearance when lowered and extends to 110 feet when raised, operating according to U.S. Coast Guard regulations.
This structure stands as the sole single-track lift bridge in New Jersey, painted in turquoise blue since its 1994 renovation.
