Talk:Victory Bridge (New Jersey)

Technically, the North side of the bridge is in Woodbridge Twp, albeit very close to the Perth Amboy border, slightly to the east.

• The straight line diagram for Route 35 (on page 18) shows the bridge connecting Sayreville and Perth Amboy (not Woodbridge township). Alansohn 19:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Well I'll be damned. Thank you.

Eddie and the Cruisers

I thought that in the 1982 movie Eddie and the Cruisers, Eddie Wilson supposedly commits suicide by driving off of the Victory Bridge.

This is how I remember it (granted my memory is based on a 2 decade old recollection). Perhaps somebody with good knowledge about this film could research this and edit the article accordingly.

County Bridge, 1906

The National Park Service has a great history of the river crossings at Perth Amboy. See American Engineering Record NJ-120. This report includes a quality discussion (pp 6-7) of the County Bridge, which was opened to traffic in 1906. The County Bridge preceded the Victory Bridge and was the first vehicular bridge in that spot. I recommend that this Wiki article incorporate a discussion of the County Bridge. No need for its own article. Perhaps a clearer discussion of the history of the 1926 bridge and its 1906 predecessor would make the article more comprehensive and less oriented to the recent replacement of the old bridge?
