Everything about The Outerbridge Crossing totally explained
The
Outerbridge Crossing is a
cantilever bridge which spans the
Arthur Kill. The "Outerbridge", as it's commonly known, connects
Perth Amboy, New Jersey with
Staten Island,
New York and carries
NY-440 and
NJ-440, each road ending at the respective state border.
Tolls are collected in the eastbound direction only. The cash toll is $8 for passenger vehicles. Users of
E-ZPass pay a discounted toll of $6 during off-peak hours (outside of 6-9 am and 4-7 pm).
The Outerbridge Crossing carried 32,438,000 vehicles (both directions) in 2006, or approximately 90,000 each day.
It is a steel
cantilever construction, designed by
John Alexander Low Waddell and built under the auspices of the Port of New York Authority, now the
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which currently operates it.
It opened simultaneously with the
Goethals Bridge on
June 29,
1928. Both spans have similar designs.
The bridge was named for
Eugenius Harvey Outerbridge, the first chairman of the then-Port of New York Authority and a resident of Staten Island.

In recent years, the bridge has undergone numerous repair jobs as a result of the high volume of traffic that crosses the bridge each day.
