New Bridge Links Sections of Overpeck County Park
Project to be finished in September.
A bridge installed Wednesday will give motorists and pedestrians direct access to the northern end of Overpeck County Park for the first time since the park opened in 2010, the county executive’s office said.
The bridge will link the park’s internal roadways and connect with another bridge that was installed about one month ago. The county said the opening is scheduled to be completed on Sept. 15 and is two weeks ahead of schedule.
A large crane was used to haul the 170,000 pound bridge to its home off Fort Lee Road in Leonia.
The project will cost the county about $8 million and is under budget, northjersey.com reported.
