Without fanfare, new Pemberton Avenue bridge opens


Handsome is as handsome does: the approach to
the new bridge.


A closer view.


And, of course, credit must be given.


The rebuilt --or should I say "new" -- bridge over the Cedar Brook in Cedar Brook Park was unceremoniously opened to traffic on Friday, April 3.

When I came through on Thursday afternoon late for a medical appointment, the barricade at Park Avenue was still up.

When I came through from the pharmacy on Friday evening, the barricades were gone. I confirmed the bridge's opening on Saturday.

I would be a misnomer to refer what happened here as a "rebuilding". This is a new bridge -- or may I say BRIDGE -- replacing the formerly almost unnoticeable passage over the stream's culvert.







The bridge that was replaced was so inconsequential
it can't even be seen amidst the construction gear.


The splendid new white concrete bridge carries the appropriate memorialization of officials on each wall.

The Union County engineers outdid themselves on this one.
