William A. Stickel Memorial Bridge
Known officially as the William A. Stickel Memorial Bridge or "Stickel Bridge", the Interstate 280 lift bridge is undergoing a major renovation throughout 2007 including repainting and rehabilitation of the road deck, towers and mechanical components. The project will extend the life of the Stickel Bridge, which was classified "structrually defiecient" by the NJ DOT in 2001 and originally planned for replacement.
