Notes
  • Significance: The Locke Avenue Bridge, constructed in 1911, is the only swing span and the oldest of three movable span bridges extant in Gloucester County, New Jersey. The bridge is distinctive as a small scale application of movable span bridge technology in use between the 1890s and 1920s. Numerous original characteristics of the bridge survive, including the riveted Warren pony steel truss, the wood plank deck, and the adjoining bridge tender's house. The bridge is also significant for its associations with commerce in Swedesboro and on Raccoon Creek.
