Landing Bridge, Spanning Raritan River at Landing Lane, New Brunswick, Middlesex County, NJ
Summary
Significance: Landing Bridge is a representative example of late-nineteenth-century bridge design and construction, featuring Pratt trusses and riveted connections. The bridge was designed by George F. Blakely, who was at the time chief engineer for the Passaic Rolling Mill Co. of Paterson, New Jersey. It was built by the Penn Bridge Company of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Portions of the stone abutments of the earlier bridge at this location were reused in construction of Landing Bridge.
