Dock Bridge, is a vertical lift bridge built in 1935 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 3, 1980. Sometimes known as the Amtrak Dock Vertical Lift, the bridge crosses the Passaic River at Newark and Harrison in northeastern New Jersey and carries Amtrak, New Jersey Transit, and Port Authority Trans Hudson and part of the Northeast Corridor. The bridge is manned.
When built it was an important component in making obsolete the Pennsylvania Railroad's Manhattan Transfer, just east of Newark Penn Station (also opened in 1935), where passengers would change from diesel trains to Exchange Place to electrified trains for New York Penn Station.
Dock Bridge consists of two twin spans, with the west span carrying the Amtrak main line tracks and the east structure for the two PATH tracks and one additional Amtrak/NJ Transit track. The original west span was built in 1935 along with Newark Penn Station, while the east span was built in 1937 when the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad (PATH) extended service into Penn Station.
