Everything about Centre Street Bridge Newark totally explained
The
Centre Street Bridge was a double-deck bridge over the
Passaic River in
New Jersey.
The bridge connected
Newark in
Essex County and
Harrison in
Hudson County. The lower level was opened in 1834 and always carried
rail tracks, while the upper level was built in 1911 for
rapid transit and later converted to a road. The upper level was known as
Route 158. At the west (Newark) end it ran just south of Saybrook Place, ending at
Park Place. The east (Harrison) end was at Second Street between Essex Street and Taft Place (those streets carried traffic east from the bridge). Taft Place has since been renamed "New Jersey Railroad Ave".
History
The lower level of the bridge was originally built as the main line of the
New Jersey Rail Road, later part of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Regular trains first ran over the bridge on
September 15,
1834. A cutoff around the bridge opened in 1870, and the old route became the Centre Street Branch, later being cut from the main line to the south. To accommodate its use by the
Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (now
PATH) to reach the
Park Place station, the bridge was realigned and rebuilt with an upper deck, which opened on
November 26,
1911. On
June 20,
1937, the H&M was realigned to
Newark Penn Station, abandoning Park Place station and the upper deck of the bridge. The upper level was later converted to a roadway. It was designated
Route 25AD due to the nearby Route 25A, now
Interstate 280. In the
1953 renumbering the route became 158 (25A became 58). The bridge was demolished between 1981 and 1995.
