Bayonne Bridge

The Bayonne Bridge is an iconic roadway bridge connecting Bayonne, New Jersey, to Staten Island, New York. It spans the New York Harbor, allowing vehicles to travel between the two areas. Originally built in 1931, the bridge features a high, arching steel structure. To accommodate larger ships entering the port, the bridge was raised in a major reconstruction completed in 2017, increasing its clearance from 151 to 215 feet. This upgrade helps facilitate maritime trade while maintaining road traffic, making it an essential transportation link for commerce and commuters in the region.
