Raritan River Bridge, Railway bridge over Raritan River in Middlesex County, United States
The steel swing bridge stretches across the Raritan River, connecting the communities of Perth Amboy and South Amboy through railway transportation.
Constructed in 1908 to replace an 1875 structure, the bridge formed a critical link for the New York and Long Branch Railroad operations.
The bridge connects numerous New Jersey communities with major employment centers in Newark, Jersey City, and Manhattan through the North Jersey Coast Line.
The structure serves approximately 10,000 daily NJ Transit passengers and facilitates the transport of two million tons of freight annually via Conrail.
Following damage from Hurricane Sandy in 2012, the bridge undergoes replacement with a new structure designed to withstand ocean surges and saltwater immersion.
