Glimmer Glass Bridge
Glimmer Glass Bridge, Steel and wooden bridge in Manasquan, US.
The Glimmer Glass Bridge stretches 279 feet across a tidal inlet of the Manasquan River, connecting the communities of Manasquan and Brielle.
Constructed in 1883 and modified in 1938, this bridge received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008 for its engineering significance.
Local residents formed the Committee to Save the Glimmer Glass Bridge to protect this structure, demonstrating strong community involvement in preservation efforts.
The bridge maintains a weight restriction of three tons, accommodating regular vehicles while providing a wooden sidewalk for pedestrians and cyclists.
This cable lift bascule bridge operates with a rolling counterweight system along an elliptical track, representing a rare engineering design in the United States.
