	Outerbridge Crossing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Outerbridge Crossing is a cantilever bridge over the Arthur Kill connecting Perth Amboy, New Jersey with Staten Island, New York.
		Known locally as the "Outerbridge", it is part of a popular route on NY-440/NJ-440 from the south and west to New York City and Long Island.
		In fact it was named for Eugenius H. Outerbridge, the first chairman of the then Port of New York Authority and a resident of Staten Island.

	Outerbridge Crossing (NY 440 and NJ 440)
		The Outerbridge Crossing is a longer version of the steel-truss cantilever Goethals Bridge, with a 750-foot-long suspended center span and two 375-foot-long side spans.
		Outerbridge, one of the drafters of the compact that created the Port Authority, urged the construction of the bridges between Staten Island and New Jersey, since he believed that so long as Staten Island was isolated it was a hindrance rather than an aid to port facilities.
		The Outerbridge Crossing, NJ 440 (Middlesex Freeway Extension) and NY 440 (West Shore Expressway) become part of the new Interstate 395.

		On its New York side, the Outerbridge Crossing leads to the Verrazano Narrows Bridge via the West Shore Expressway to the Staten Island Expressway (I 278).

	New York State Highway 440 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It begins at the Outerbridge Crossing near the southwestern end of the island, where it connects with the Middlesex County segment of New Jersey State Highway 440.
		It traverses the island's largely unpopulated meadowlands along its western flank as a freeway called the West Shore Expressway until it joins with the Staten Island Expressway (Interstate 278) near the northwest corner of the island.
		There are nine exits from the Outerbridge Crossing to the Staten Island Expressway, if the interchanges with both the Richmond Parkway and the latter are included; however, two of the exits can only be accessed from one direction.

	American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
		To the average Staten Islander, the closing of the Outerbridge Crossing each night is nothing but a huge inconvenience.
		The project is a three-year, $51.2 million deck rehabilitation, intended to extend the life of the 72-year-old concrete bridge deck an extra 10 to 15 years.
		While most bridge decks are replaced about every 40 to 50 years, the deck on the Outerbridge today is the same one horses were pulling buggies across when it first opened to traffic in 1928.

		Neither is the Goethals, nor the Outerbridge Crossing.
		It is the Bayonne, Goethals and Outerbridge bridges that are the critical junctions at the south end of this mixing bowl.
		While together, the three Staten Island crossings have never had as much traffic as the George Washington Bridge, their volume increased 52 percent after the 1964 opening of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge created a major travel corridor through Staten Island between New Jersey and Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island.

	Interstate 287 (New Jersey)
		The circumferential route, which was to be similar in design to today's I-287, was to begin at the new Outerbridge Crossing, and was to include a new trans-Hudson crossing between Rockland and Westchester counties.
		It was to be constructed as a "Relocated US 202." Two years later, the legislature passed similar legislation for the southern section of the route from US 22 in Somerville to the Outerbridge Crossing, the same section that had been advocated in 1937 and 1947 plans.
		The necessity for providing highway facilities in New Jersey to serve urban population centers in New York and Pennsylvania is not limited to the provision of interstate circumferentials, but applies also to the provision of distributor or cross-connecting routes for traffic destined to various points within the central urban areas.

	Businesses of the Past
		Even after the Outerbridge Crossing opened in 1928, it continued as a profitable project because of its frequent and reliable service over a period of 81 years.
		The society, first called the Philemon Club, was founded in 1897 with its primary goal being the attainment of a Carnegie grant for a public library in Tottenville, which was, in fact, received in 1904.
		In extant copies of the newspaper, one can still read about the Outerbridge Crossing opening in 1928 and the 1936 opening of the new, million-dollar Tottenville High School.

	Bridges and Tunnels in New York and New Jersey in the United States
		All of its bridges did have non-motorized access, but it has become less friendly to non-motorists since the sidewalks on the Outerbridge Crossing and the Goethals Bridge are out and the sidewalk on the George WASHINGTON Bridge is closed overnight.
		New Jersey Department of Transportation: Traveling by Bicycle in New Jersey, Crossing the Hudson River to New York City: "No walkway; special arrangements for access by groups can be made in advance by calling 718-390-2524." (Verify this information with the Port Authority.) The Goethals Bridge with its closed sidewalk is 13 km away.
		Across the Outerbridge Crossing, the New York City Bus should extend its bus routes (such as S74/S84 and S78) to serve non-motorists displaced from the removal of the bridge sidewalk in 1963.

		The title track "Outerbridge Crossing" will be the subject of a future release that will, among other works, trace the evolution of this piece after this recording from a performance at the Knitting Factory in 1989, another from the 1990 quartet tour, and one more recent version by the quintet.
		It is the second release of the quintet, and the personnel for this date in December of 1990 represents a bridge between the instrumentation of "Outerbridge Crossing" and all of the cds that follow this date.
		A work I later developed for quintet and released on the record "Outerbridge Crossing" called "Endorphin" is heard here in it's original trio version and a newer work, part of my meat series, called "Pork" is featured as well.

	TM 167 Part I
		On January 1 and 2, 1990, an oil spill of 576,000 gal of No. 2 heating oil from an underwater Exxon pipeline seriously affected wildlife and aquatic plant communities of the Arthur Kill, the strait separating Staten Island, New York, from New Jersey (Burger 1994; Figures 1 and 2).
		The leak occurred at Morses Creek in the northern reach of the Kill, and affected areas as far north as the Kill van Kull and Newark Bay, and as far south as the Outerbridge Crossing.
		The study marsh itself was located on an island right at the mouth of the creek; at very low tides the water over the surrounding mudflats was shallow enough to allow easy access to the mainland.

		The Port Authority said its Outerbridge high speed toll lanes project will cost $9.9M, more or less in line with some of the high speed toll projects implemented on New Jersey’s toll highways.
