CRRNJ Newark Bay Bridge, Railway bridge in Newark Bay, United States
The vertical lift bridge stretched across Newark Bay with four tracks, connecting Elizabethport to Bayonne over two separate shipping channels.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey constructed three versions of this crossing, with the final vertical lift bridge opening in November 1926.
The bridge supported regional transportation development, carrying up to 300 trains daily during World War II for military and civilian purposes.
The structure maintained a minimum closed height of 35 feet above water, allowing 60 percent of marine traffic to pass without raising the spans.
A devastating accident occurred in September 1958 when a commuter train plunged into Newark Bay, resulting in 48 casualties.
