The Newark bay bridge does need to be replaced. I wouldn’t call that useless. The article says the bridge was built in 1956, which means it’s social security age.

I don’t know if raising the bridge will increase the effectiveness of the overall port because there isn’t much north of the bridge, but that should be considered.
