West Brook Road Bridge Viaduct

The West Brook Road Bridge Viaduct over the Wanaque Reservoir
The West Brook Road Bridge carries the re-located West Brook Road across the Wanaque Reservoir. The West Brook Road Bridge was constructed between 1926 and 1928 and is a seven-span, reinforced concrete beam bridge supported on poured concrete piers. The bridge was designed to carry the vehicular and pedestrian traffic of West Brook Road, a local, two-lane roadway, over the Wanaque Reservoir (A.G. Lichtenstein & Associates 1994).
