Newark Bay Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Newark, United States
The Newark Bay Bridge stretches 9,560 feet across Newark Bay, featuring a four-lane configuration that connects Newark to Bayonne in New Jersey.
Governor Robert B. Meyner inaugurated the Newark Bay Bridge on April 4, 1956, marking a new chapter in New Jersey's transportation infrastructure.
The bridge carries Interstate 78 traffic through an industrial region, supporting the economic activities of Port Newark and surrounding manufacturing facilities.
The structure maintains a clearance of 135 feet above water level, allowing large cargo vessels to access Port Newark through the navigation channel.
The Newark Bay Extension improvement program includes plans to construct a new bridge, with construction scheduled to begin in 2026.
