South Front Street Bridge, Road and bascule bridge in Elizabeth, New Jersey, US
The South Front Street Bridge extends 158 feet across the Elizabeth River, featuring a steel deck and wooden pedestrian walkway on each side.
Constructed in 1922 by the American Bridge Company, this crossing served as a vital connection point for maritime and vehicular traffic in Union County.
The bridge represents New Jersey's industrial heritage through its Strauss trunnion bascule design, which enabled ships to pass through the Elizabeth River.
The structure remains closed to traffic since 2011 due to structural concerns, with a clearance of 16 feet when operational.
This bridge stands as the last surviving vehicular moveable bridge in Union County, with different truss lengths of 131 feet west and 116 feet east.
