Breaker Road Bridge Broken, Buttonwood

September 20, 2008

The old rickety Breaker Road Bridge in Buttonwood is broken. The County says the member that supports the guardrail has failed. The bridge is OK, but if a car hit the guardrail it would go in the drink.

And what a stinky Acid Mine Drainage drink it is.

(Why is the distance 
listed as distance 
from Hoboken, since
trains have not run 
to Hoboken in many,
