Jackson Street Bridge, Steel swing bridge over Passaic River in Newark, United States
The Jackson Street Bridge spans 467 feet across the Passaic River, connecting Newark with Harrison through a quadrangle lattice through truss design.
Built by Fagan Iron Works of Hoboken in 1897, the bridge opened in 1903 and underwent substantial rehabilitation work in 1991 to restore its functionality.
The structure represents the industrial heritage of Newark, featuring innovative engineering with its curved chord lattice truss design and swing span mechanism.
The bridge provides a 40-foot-wide roadway passage and requires a four-hour notice for maritime vessels to request an opening of its swing mechanism.
The bridge's original steam engine operation system was first converted to air engines, then modified to run on propane gas due to access limitations.
