Description: The Arthur Kill Vertical Lift Bridge, located in New York, is a significant piece of infrastructure that connects Staten Island with New Jersey, spanning the Arthur Kill waterway. Completed in 1959, this bridge is notable for its vertical lift design, which allows the central span to be raised to accommodate maritime traffic. It is primarily used for freight rail service, operated by Conrail Shared Assets Operations, and plays a crucial role in the transportation network by facilitating the movement of goods between the two states. The bridge's engineering and operational efficiency make it an essential component of the region's logistics and supply chain infrastructure.
