Notes
  • Significance: This single-leaf, trunnion bascule bridge is a well-preserved example of a patented Strauss articulated underneath counterweight structure. It is significant for its use of chain-driven operating machinery powered by a gasoline engine, and it may be the only example of a gasoline engine powered bridge in the State of New Jersey. The bridge has been little altered from the time of its construction.
  • Survey number: HAER NJ-123
