railway, bridge
Built in 1910 as part of the Delaware Lackawanna & Western's Lackawanna Cutoff. The Cutoff was abandoned by Conrail in 1984. Today, New Jersey Transit is conducting studies to restore the Cutoff and restore passenger trains between Hoboken, Newark, Stroudsburg, the Poconos, and Scranton. The viaduct is a concrete and rebar structure, formed of pillars and arches beneath the bridge deck. The pillars and arches are enterable via manholes in the bridge deck, inside of which are long ladders leading to the bottom of the inside of each pillar. From the bottom of each pillar the arches are accessable by way small arched doors on either side of the bottom of each pillar.
