Great Egg Harbor Bridge, Road bridge in Atlantic County, New Jersey, US.
The Great Egg Harbor Bridge spans 3,650 feet across the Great Egg Harbor Bay, connecting Upper Township to Somers Point along the Garden State Parkway.
The bridge opened in 1955 at a cost of 4.5 million dollars, marking the completion of the Garden State Parkway and transforming transportation in southern New Jersey.
The bridge spans through sections of Egg Harbor Township and Drag Island, serving as a connection point between different New Jersey shore communities.
Travelers must pay tolls in the southbound direction, while the bridge provides separate lanes for northbound and southbound traffic to manage high volume flow.
A pedestrian and bicycle path on the southbound span, opened in 2020, allows people to travel between Beesley's Point and Somers Point without vehicles.
