Pulaski Skyway, Cantilever bridge in Jersey City, United States.
The Pulaski Skyway extends 3.5 miles across the New Jersey Meadowlands, reaching heights of 135 feet over the Hackensack and Passaic rivers.
Construction of this $20 million steel structure began in the 1920s as part of a 13.2-mile Route 1 Extension project connecting Elizabeth to Holland Tunnel.
The steel structure appears in the opening credits of television series The Sopranos and was referenced in Orson Welles 1938 radio drama War of the Worlds.
This four-lane highway carries 67,000 vehicles daily between Newark and Jersey City, with trucks prohibited since 1934 for safety considerations.
Danish engineer Sigvald Johannesson selected a truss design over suspension bridge concept, which differed from George Washington Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge approaches.
