Notes
  • Significance: In 1926, the bascule bridge replaced an earlier swing bridge at the same location. The present bridge was erected by Hill Construction Company. The bascule portion of the bridge is an excellent example of a patented Strauss short span bascule bridge with an overhead counterweight. The Strauss Company was a national leader in the design of bascule bridges. This bridge was executed during the company's flourishing period. As one journeys up the Mullica River from its mouth at Great Bay, the Lower Bank Bridge is the second one passes under. It serves as an essential link for both land and sea commerce in this portion of the scenic Pine Barrens of New Jersey.
