Passaic Street Bridge, steel girder road bridge across the Lower Passaic River in northern New Jersey

Passaic Street Bridge is a steel structure that crosses the Passaic River between Passaic and Garfield, New Jersey. The bridge spans approximately 233 feet and rests on solid stone foundations with girder supports visible from below.

An iron bridge first opened at this location in 1868, but collapsed in the 1870s and was rebuilt in 1872. The current structure was completed in 1898 and has undergone several reinforcements since then, including repairs following the major 1903 flood.

The bridge serves as a daily connection between Passaic and Garfield, linking two communities through ordinary commutes and routines. Many residents cross it regularly without realizing they are using a structure that has supported generations of local life and movement.

The bridge is open daily for vehicle and pedestrian traffic, providing a direct route between the two cities. Access is straightforward since it is fully integrated into the local street network with no special requirements.

The 1898 girder bridge is the third structure to span the Passaic River at this crossing, and it is considered eligible for listing on both the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places. Its predecessor was an iron bridge opened in 1868.
