    Engineers Assess Damage on Suttons Lane Bridge

    Edison, NJ – Following multiple truck strikes, engineers have commenced their in-depth assessment of the Suttons Lane Bridge, meticulously evaluating the extent of the damage inflicted upon this vital transportation artery.

    The series of collisions involving oversized trucks has left the bridge in a compromised state, necessitating a comprehensive inspection before any repairs can begin. A team of structural engineers have been on-site, employing advanced techniques and technologies to scrutinize every inch of the structure.

    The assessment process is expected to take several days, during which traffic control measures will remain in place to ensure the safety of both workers and the public. Once the evaluation is complete, the engineers will collaborate with local authorities to finalize the repair strategy and timeline.

    While the exact nature of the repairs is yet to be determined, preliminary findings suggest that both structural and cosmetic elements of the bridge will need attention. The engineers are confident that, with careful planning and execution, the bridge can be returned to its pre-incident condition.

    Local residents are encouraged to stay updated on the progress of the assessment and repair efforts through official channels. Further information will be released as it becomes available.

    Despite the challenges posed by this unfortunate incident, the collaborative spirit and expertise of the engineers involved offer a reassuring promise that the Suttons Lane Bridge will soon be restored to its vital role, connecting communities and facilitating the safe flow of traffic.

      Who pays for damage to this bridge? The railroad? The town? The state?

      The overpass on Talmadge Road north of NJ-27 has been struck several times as well, with crushed electrical conduits exposed on the north face.

      My observation as a long-time trailer truck driver is that the former Pennsylvania RR main line from Philadelphia to NYC, which now carries the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor as well as Amtrak trains, is an element in a large fraction of the low-bridge locations that plague our state from Trenton to Elizabeth. Legal-height trucks (up to 13’6″) can safely pass under these tracks in South Edison at Plainfield Avenue, Tallmadge Road, and I-287. Signage is poor state-wide. Be careful!
