Edison Bridge, Transportation bridge in Woodbridge, United States
The Edison Bridge spans across the Raritan River with six traffic lanes, connecting Woodbridge Township on the north to Sayreville on the south.
Morris Goodkind, chief engineer of the New Jersey State Highway Department, initiated the bridge construction on September 26, 1938, completing it in late 1940.
The bridge name honors Thomas Edison, whose inventions and numerous patents transformed the technological landscape of the United States during the industrial era.
The structure extends 4,391 feet across the water, accommodating over 82,000 vehicles daily under the management of the New Jersey Department of Transportation.
The southbound section received a separate designation in 2001 as the Ellis S. Vieser Memorial Bridge, while maintaining its Edison Bridge collective identity.
