Newark Drawbridge, Railroad bridge across Passaic River in Newark, United States
The Newark Drawbridge spans 870 feet across the Passaic River between Newark and Harrison with a central span of 221 feet and 20 feet clearance.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad merged with Erie Railroad in 1960, forming Erie Lackawanna Railroad before Conrail acquired operations in 1976.
The bridge carried passengers from Orange to Newark since 1836, enabling connections through Bergen Hill tunnels to terminals along the Hudson River.
New Jersey Transit manages all passenger services on the bridge, requiring 24-hour notice for any drawbridge openings due to maritime traffic regulations.
Following a 23 million dollar maintenance project in 2009, the bridge continues serving the Montclair-Boonton Line and Morris and Essex Lines branches.
