This group shows pretty much how things look today. All that is left of the structure is the concrete footings standing in Newark bay. Not visible, but still there, just off to the left of them are wood pilings from the very first bridge to cross the bay. They can be seen at low tide just at the watter edge.
This artifact is a leftover from the bridge's construction. It was used to pour the footings that held up the bridge.I was told some years ago that when the bridge went into service in 1926 this barge mounted cement mixer was sunk by the construction co. just north of the crossing and abandoned. It's kind of odd that the bridge is gone but the equipment used to build it remains.
