The Albany Street Bridge is a bridge that carries Route 27 in the U.S. state of New Jersey spanning the Raritan River. The bridge connects Highland Park on the east with New Brunswick on the west. The bridge is so named because Route 27 in New Brunswick, from the Raritan River to Easton Avenue, is known locally as Albany Street. The low stone arch bridge was built in 1887. It was widened in 1925, ten years after Route 27 had become part of the transcontinental Lincoln Highway. The bridge received modifications such as the chain link fencing in the 1980s. From the bridge's centennial in 1987 until 1991, a major renovation created a drastic traffic bottleneck in the area. From the road, the appearance of the bridge is very modern. The best views of this historic arch bridge are from the banks of the Raritan River and from the nearby Northeast Corridor railroad bridge. Google Streetview has (several ) good (vantage points ) as well, from State Route 18, and (so does ) Bing's Streetside.. ==See also== *List of crossings of the Raritan River *Route of the Lincoln Highway 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albany Street Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
