    Wow I just learned about something new in my own state of NJ. Thanks for this. Looks JUST LIKE the old Goethals Bridge right near me

    Heard they are considering building a replacement. It's definitely showing its age. Thanks for the trip!

      This bridge was opened in 1928, so the replacement is long overdue.

      It will probably take about 10-15 before it's actually completed.

      @@joelfrombethlehem opened on the very same day as the old Goethals Bridge, and due to the near-identical designs, yes a replacement is desired.

      Considering the beautiful replacement they did for the Goethals Bridge, I'm surprised Outerbridge still hasn't been done yet.

    The Goethals Bridge used to be a near identical twin of this one, with its rusty cantilever-truss design and 4 incredibly narrow lanes.

    That's the Bridge I remember at 3 o'clock in the morning - so narrow I was afraid I'd hit the car next to me.

    Thanks for the ride! I've used the bridge many times.
    The bridge was named for Eugenius Harvey Outerbridge, the first chairman of the then-Port of New York Authority and a resident of Staten Island. Rather than calling it the "Outerbridge Bridge", the span was labeled a "crossing", but many New Yorkers and others mistakenly assume the name comes from the fact that it is the most remote bridge in New York City and the southernmost crossing in New York State.

      Wow. Interesting to know. I immediately thought it was named "Outerbridge" due to its location.

      @@MileageMikeTravels that's the PANYNJ for you. Yet when you have, let's say the (New) Goethals Bridge and the Verrazano Bridge on I-278 East, you pay the $16.00 toll coming into Staten Island, yet you do not pay to go from Staten Island to Brooklyn. the same applies to I-278 West from Brooklyn to I-95/NJTP. In fact, with New Jersey, whether entering from NY State, Delaware, or Pennsylvania in regards to toll bridges, with one exception, you always enter the state free and you pay to leave; the exception being the Dingman's Ferry Bridge in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area in which both directions have to pay.

    The lanes are too narrow on this bridge. I hate going across in a semi.
