Pelham Bay Bridge, Railway bridge in The Bronx, US.
The Pelham Bay Bridge spans the Hutchinson River with steel and concrete construction, featuring a movable bascule span and multiple approach structures.
The original bridge from 1815 was destroyed by a storm in 1816, leading to an eighteen-year gap before another structure was built.
The bridge connects communities in The Bronx, serving as a vital transportation link for both railroad passengers and maritime vessels along the Hutchinson River.
The Federal Railroad Administration plans to construct a new two-track bridge by 2027, replacing the current structure without increasing train capacity.
The bridge required 724 openings for maritime traffic in 2014, demonstrating the balance between rail and water transportation needs.
