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.
