The fact that the arch structure was able to support both the lower and the new upper deck demonstrates the incredible strength of the original design.

I am in awe of construction workers. The ability to basically build a new bridge over an operational bridge is just fascinating to me.

way cool! When I was 10 years old in 1960 we regularly drove past a billboard on the Belt Parkway for the about to built Verrazano Bridge "to be completed in 1965" - which at the time felt like an eternity away to me. I imagined someone taking a picture of the bridge every day to create a movie like the video I just watched; too bad no one did

I've always thought Bayonne is s stunningly beautiful bridge. Maybe that's not fashionable to say and it doesn't generally get mentioned in lists of "beautiful bridges" but the simple elegance of the design: 2 overlapping curves (the arch and the deck) I just find immensely satisfying.

That is insane engineering...wow!

Outstanding Architectural Achievement and a Great Time Lapse portrayal.

They way they did this is some seriously impressive engineering. Whatever firm deigned the retrofit is top notch.

I grew up in Bayonne and crossed that bridge many times with my dog Major. Didn't cross it yet since they raised it.

Wow I lived in Bayonne in the 80's very cool.

Nice capture Earthcam. looks like an amazing project.

This was genius, at the time the Panama Canal was being expanded to accomodate more traffic and bigger ships, experts said the NY harbor would be obsolete, bigger ships could not pass bc of the Bayonne Bridge, therefore these larger ships would have to turn to Philly, Baltimore or Boston...but NY said no way, aint happening....instead of dismantling it, and buidling a new one based on staggering costs, they came up with a cheap clean beautiful practical functional idea - raise the roadway! It never stopped traffic, it never seize to exist, and it kept being the Bayonne Bridge, the same as always, for a fraction of building a new bridge....NY and NJ basically gave the Panama Canal the middle finger and got the last laugh.

This is an incredible undertaking, I think we will stick to our basement digouts for now haha

This bridge was used in the 2005 version of 'War of the Worlds'

What’s really insane is they pulled this off while traffic is flowing directly underneath them

Most impressive.

Nice!

From bashing rocks with sticks to this. Humans, what the hell.

Cool

Incredibly inventive engineering, Kinda weird and tragic that I see the engineering invention so clearly and almost forget the construction workers who have to turn it into a reality :(

Earthcam in bayonne?!

Hi this is a great video! Is it possible to use few seconds of it in one of my KZfaq videos? Let me know if I need to credit your channel or anything else that you need. Thank you!

If the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey were to demolish this bridge and replace it with a new one, it would cost them billions of dollars. Had the construction workers ever built the Bayonne Bridge with a higher elevated roadway at approximately 80 meters (260 ft) or higher in the beginning of its proposed stages, there was no need to redesign it in the future.
