Anderson Street Bridge

Anderson Street Bridge is a road bridge in Bergen County, New Jersey, spanning the Hackensack River with four traffic lanes and sidewalks on both sides. The structure connects the towns of Hackensack and Teaneck and serves as a key transportation link across the river.

A wooden bridge was originally built at this location in 1858 as the first connection between the two banks of the Hackensack River. The structure evolved over decades and underwent multiple modernizations to meet growing traffic needs.

The bridge connects two communities and is used daily by commuters traveling between the riverbanks. It serves as part of the local transportation network that helps people reach their jobs and destinations.

The bridge has weight restrictions that require larger vehicles to use alternate routes across the river. Pedestrians and cyclists can use the wide sidewalks to safely cross from one side to the other.

The bridge received significant federal funding in recent years for a comprehensive rebuild that has modernized its infrastructure. This investment demonstrates how important local structures are renovated to ensure they remain safe and functional.
