Shrewsbury River Bridge
Posted August 5, 2007, by Art Gallagher (artvg [at] aol [dot] com)

The state of NJ is currently planning to destroy this bridge and replace it with a 70' high fixed span bridge.

Local citizens are opposing the plan, favoring repairing or replacing the bridge in its current form.
