Sawtooth Bridges, Railroad bridge complex in Kearny, New Jersey, US.
The Sawtooth Bridges consist of two railroad structures carrying Northeast Corridor tracks over multiple rail lines between Newark Penn Station and Secaucus Junction.
The Pennsylvania Railroad constructed these railway bridges in 1907 as part of the New York Tunnel Extension project connecting New Jersey to Manhattan.
These bridges represent a critical intersection point where four major rail systems converge: Amtrak, New Jersey Transit, PATH, and Conrail freight operations.
Current speed restrictions limit trains to 60 miles per hour across these bridges, affecting daily operations of passenger and freight services.
The staggered alignment of these viaducts creates a distinctive zigzag pattern when viewed from above, leading to their Sawtooth name.
