Goethals Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge between Staten Island, New York and Elizabeth, New Jersey, United States
The bridge spans feature two parallel decks supported by V-shaped concrete towers with 144 steel cables measuring up to 400 feet in length.
The structure replaced a 1928 cantilever bridge, with the eastbound span opening in June 2017 and the westbound span completing the project in May 2018.
The crossing serves as a vital connection in the New York metropolitan area transportation network, carrying Interstate 278 traffic across Arthur Kill channel.
Drivers using the eastbound direction pay tolls through E-ZPass electronic collection or automated license plate recognition billing system implemented in 2019.
The bridge incorporates wide shoulders, a pedestrian walkway, a bicycle path, and space between spans for potential future transit services.
