It used by Amtrak, including Northeast Regional service, and New Jersey Transit's Northeast Corridor Line.[1] It also crosses over New Jersey Route 18 and the East Coast Greenway. The bridge was constructed in 1903 by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR).[1] It consists of 21 spans of stone arches, the clear spans varying from 51 feet to 72 feet each and has a total length of {{convert|1428|ft|m|}}. The line was electrified by 1933.[2] and between 1948-1950 the bridge was encased in concrete.[3] {{stack|}}The bridge was documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in 1977.[4] It is contributing property of the unlisted Pennsylvania Railroad New York to Philadelphia Historic District (ID#4568), designated in 2002 by the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office.[5] Earlier bridgesThe first crossing of the Raritan at this point was wooden bridge on masonry substructure, constructed in 1838 by the United New Jersey Railroad and Canal Company. It was a {{convert|1577|ft|m|}} long double-deck Howe-truss bridge with a highway on the lower deck. The {{convert|146|ft|m|}}-foot long draw span was renewed in 1872.[6] In 1877 work began on the replacement with the intention to build a double-track iron structure of seven iron fixed deck-spans having three trusses each with stone-arch approaches. While construction was underway this bridge was entirely destroyed by fire on March 9, 1878. Traffic was resumed over a temporary structure five days later.[6] In 1896, the superstructure was again renewed with five deck truss-spans, each {{convert|147|ft|m|}} long, and one drawspan over the canal, all for two tracks.[6] See also
