Английская Википедия:Bridge Street Bridge (Newark)
Bridge Street Bridge is a swing bridge over the Passaic River connecting Newark and Harrison, New Jersey. It is the 10th bridge from the river's mouth at Newark Bay and is Шаблон:Convert upstream from it.[1] Carrying vehicular traffic, the roadway is designated County Route 508.[2]
The span is a rim-bearing Pratt thru truss swing span supported on ashlar substructure with concrete caps originally built by the American Bridge Company. It opened in 1913 and underwent significant rehabilitation in 1981.[3] It is listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places (ID#3093) [4] The bridge was re-lamped in 2012.[5][6] The bridge's electric motor was damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, requiring replacement.[7]
Like the other vehicular swing bridges in Newark, the Jackson Street Bridge and the Clay Street Bridge,[3] it crosses over the tidal navigable portion of the river.[1] and is required to open with 4-hour notice.[8] The swing bridges of Newark are expected to open as much as 10 times a day during a massive clean-up of the Passaic starting in 2019 to allow barges to move contaminated sludge dredged from the river bottom raising concerns about their reliability.[9] As of 2016 studies were underway to study its replacement.[10]
History
The site of Bridge Street Bridge has been a river crossing since the colonial era. In 1790 the state legislature decided that "public good would be served by a Шаблон:Convert wide road from Paulus Hook to the Newark Courthouse". By 1795 a bridge over the Hackensack Шаблон:Convert long and another over the Passaic Шаблон:Convert long were built creating an uninterrupted toll road connection.[11] The road between them is known as the Newark Turnpike.
