Goethals Bridge by John Alexander Low Waddell

Goethals Bridge

The Goethals Bridge /ˈɡɒθəlz/ connects Elizabeth, New Jersey to Staten Island (New York City), near the Howland Hook Marine Terminal, Staten Island, New York, United States over the Arthur Kill. Operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the span was one of the first structures built by the authority. On the New Jersey side it is located south of Newark Liberty International Airport, 2 exits from the New Jersey Turnpike-Newark Bay Extension. The bridge has been grandfathered into Interstate 278, and named for Major General George Washington Goethals, who supervised construction of the Panama Canal and was the first consulting engineer of the Port Authority.^[4]
