Manahawkin Bay Bridge
The Dorland J. Henderson Memorial Bridge,〔(Bridge is named ) by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature〕 familiarly known as the Manahawkin Bay Bridge or (while technically inaccurate) The Causeway, is a steel girder bridge that spans Manahawkin Bay, carrying traffic along Route 72 between Long Beach Island (LBI) and the Manahawkin section of Stafford Township, in Ocean County, New Jersey. The bridge starts at Manahawkin and ends at Ship Bottom on Long Beach Island. The bridge spans five land masses: the mainland, Long Beach Island, and three intermediate land masses, of which two are small and one is rather large.
The bridge provides views of Barnegat Bay, Little Egg Harbor Bay and the Atlantic City skyline, less than away.
==Lighting system==
The main span of the Manahawkin Bay Bridge sports a unique roadway lighting system, unofficially dubbed the String of Pearls, was designed by NJDOT engineer Dorland J. Henderson; the bridge was officially named after him in 2000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=State of New Jersey )〕 The lighting system, which is made up of 768 separate fluorescent lights recessed in the bridge's side guard rails, was the first of its kind in the world. After being in continuous operation since the 1950s, replacement parts for the lighting system have become unavailable, rendering many of the fluorescent bulbs dark and irreplaceable. The original, fluorescent "String of Pearls" lighting system will be replaced by a modern LED lighting system mimicking the "String of Pearls" effect on the north and south exterior faces of the rehabilitated and new bridge spans, respectively. However, the new side rail lights will be for ornamental purposes, as the roadway itself will be lit by traditional overhead lighting.
