Well now I have to know when this steel arch truss bridge was built. The Sydney Harbour (1932, 1650 ft) and Bayonne (1931, 1673 ft) bridges were duking it out for longest and this one seems to have snuck in behind as a scaled down version. Sydney Harbour copied Hell Gate (1917, 1017 ft) -- both designed to carry rail vs Bayonne being cars only. This one looks like Bayonne before the Raise the Roadway project.
