Barnegat Lighthouse State Park

Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is located on the northern tip of Long Beach Island in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. The area where the lighthouse stands was regarded as one of the most important navigational points for ships bound to and from New York Harbor. The ships were dependent upon the Barnegat Lighthouse to avoid the shoals extending from the shoreline. The fast currents, shifting sandbars, and offshore shoals challenged sailors. The park is included as a maritime site on the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail. The park is operated and maintained by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry. Features Barnegat Lighthouse The lighthouse is a popular tourist site due to its view of the surrounding areas. The lighthouse is open seasonally, weather permitting. Trails The Maritime Forest Trail is a 1/5-mile long, self-guided loop trail through maritime forest on Long Beach Island, classified as easy to moderate. Interpretive Center The Barnegat Lighthouse Interpretive Center is open to those wishing to learn the history and environment surrounding the Barnegat Lighthouse.

Bass River State Forest

Bass River State Forest is a state park spanning over 30,000 acres in Burlington and Ocean Counties, New Jersey, United States. The park, named for the Bass River which crosses through it, shelters a portion of the environmentally sensitive Pine Barrens but also provides a variety of recreational resources to visitors. The park is operated and maintained by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry. History The first of New Jersey's state forests, Bass River State Forest was acquired by the New Jersey Legislature in 1905 for public recreation, water conservation, and wildlife and timber management. The lands were once occupied by the Absegami, a branch of the Lenape tribe of Native Americans in the United States. Lake Absegami The 67 acres (0.27 km2) Lake Absegami, created in the 1930s, provides swimming, boating and canoeing. Absegami Natural Area A trail through the 128 acres (0.52 km2) Absegami Natural Area provides access to a pine/oak woods and a small Atlantic white cedar bog, also containing red maples and magnolias. The Absegami self-guided trail is 0.5 miles (0.80 km) in length. West Pine Plains Natural Area The 3,830 acres (15.5 km2) West Pine Plains Natural Area preserves a pygmy forest, a globally rare stunted forest ecosystem consisting of pine and oak trees that reach a canopy height of as little as four feet at maturity.

Battery 223

Battery 223 is in Lower Township, Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. The harbor defense battery was completed in 1943. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 2008. History In the years before the entry of the U.S. into World War II, the belief that America's shore defenses were inadequate resulted in the 1940 Modernization of the Coastal Defense program. Battery 223 was part of the effort to address the advances of offensive and defensive technology in the 1930s. Standardized and mass-produced fortifications were built on both the east and west coasts. Battery 223 was one of three 200-series fortifications built for Fort Miles, headquartered in Cape Henlopen, Delaware. Designed to host a 6-inch battery and survive a direct hit from battleships and aircraft, the structure was built with six-foot thick reinforced concrete walls and a thick blast proof roof; the entire building was covered with earth. The 6-inch guns had a nine-mile range. In addition to the three 200-series batteries, Fort Miles also had a 16-inch and a 12-inch battery, both at Cape Henlopen. The 16-inch guns had a range of 26 miles. In all, assets of Fort Miles extended along 200 miles of shoreline, including a network of 20 fire control towers. Battery 223's guns were never fired at an enemy, though there were drills and live fire tests. As the war turned in favor of the Allies, lessening the need for coastal defense, and continuing advances in warfare technology rendered fixed coastal defenses obsolete, the Modernization of the Coastal Defense program was never completed. Battery 223 was decommissioned in 1944; all army seacoast defense guns had been scrapped by 1948. By 1950, the army had dismantled all of the fixed gun harbor defenses; the buildings were used for other military purposes or were declared surplus. Battery 223 was used for radio communications by the navy at some point after 1958, a concrete pad was poured on the top the building to support a Quonset hut. Battery 223 became part of the Cape May Point State Park in 1962. Today the battery is no longer covered and is in full view. Architecture The exterior of the building is a series of windowless blocks of formed concrete. It is roughly T-shaped, the long portion runs east–west parallel to the beach, the stem of the T extends to the north. It contains 20 rooms, including a plotting room, switchboard room, latrine, several shell storage rooms, a chemical warfare service room, and an airlock. The airlock provided protection against chemical attack. Wood pilings support the building. Power was provided by three diesel generators with a gallery of exhaust pipes and mufflers, evaporative water coolers were in a separate room. The switchboard room connected the plotting room to the external fire control towers. The plotting room received coordinates from two towers, which were then used to triangulate the target and produce gun aiming directions.

Bergen Tunnels

The Bergen Tunnels are a pair of railroad tunnels with open cuts running parallel to each other under Bergen Hill in Jersey City, New Jersey, U.S. Originally built by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (DL&W), they are used by New Jersey Transit Rail Operations (NJT) trains originating or terminating at Hoboken Terminal. Construction Prior to construction, the Morris and Essex Railroad, a predecessor of the DL&W, used the Long Dock Tunnel, owned by the Erie Railroad, to pass under the Hudson Palisades. After issues of congestion and competition arose, the DL&W decided to build its own tunnel for what is commonly known as its Morristown Line. Construction of the North Bergen Tunnel began in 1873; it came into service in 1877. The South Bergen Tunnel opened in 1910, soon after a new Hoboken Terminal was inaugurated. Both tunnels are approximately 4,200 ft (1,300 m) long, and have two short segments of open cut as well as ventilation shafts. Rehabilitation In 2001, New Jersey Transit contracted JV Merco-Obayashi for the rehabilitation of the partially brick-lined North Bergen Tunnel. This included the stabilization of the two open cuts. The five ventilation shafts were stabilized and backfilled. Brick was removed so that the tunnel could be enlarged using drill-and-blast methods, following which it was relined with shotcrete. A drained membrane waterproofing system was installed before a final lining of concrete was cast-in-place. In addition to waterproofing ceilings and walls, new electrical, signal and ventilation systems were installed as were new emergency exits. New tracks were affixed directly to a new concrete floor. There are unfunded plans to rehabilitate the South Bergen Tunnel as it suffers from water leakage and icicle formation during the winter months. Historic status The tunnels are part of New Jersey's state historic preservation office historic district, designated the Old Main Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Historic District. They were documented in 2001 for the Historic American Engineering Record.

South Front Street Bridge

South Front Street Bridge is vehicular bascule bridge over the Elizabeth River in Elizabeth, New Jersey, U.S. Located at river's mouth at the Arthur Kill, it is the first fixed crossing. Opened in 1923, it is the last surviving vehicular moveable bridge in Union County. The bridge is intact but has been out of operation since 2011 and closed to all traffic. Construction and design The South Front Street Bridge is a Strauss trunnion bascule bridge along the designs of the Strauss Bascule Bridge Company, headed by Joseph Strauss. Construction began in 1920; it opened to traffic in 1922. It is a heel trunnion, which is a variation on the design, and is the only remaining road-carrying bridge of its type in New Jersey. The bridge’s substructure and counterweight are made of concrete. A small brick bridge house, located adjacent to the bridge, house the controls. The machinery which operates the bridge is above the road; original gears and electric motors which were added in 1940. The bridge had a wooden roadway, which was replaced with a steel deck in 1956. The pedestrian walkway is wood, though not the original. The bridge underwent significant repairs in 1974-1976. The state historic preservation office has determined that the building is eligible for listing. Operations Under normal conditions the bridge would be required to open for maritime traffic. South Front Street Bridge has been closed to road traffic since March 4, 2011, due to severe deterioration of the superstructure stringers and floor beams.

Bayonne Medical Center

CarePoint Health Bayonne Medical Center is a hospital in Bayonne, New Jersey. It has 278 beds and was founded in 1888. One of six hospitals in Hudson County, the Bayonne Medical Center is affiliated with Hoboken University Medical Center and Christ Hospital, which are also operated by the for-profit organization Hudson Hospital Opco. The hospital became the subject of media coverage in 2013 when, in the midst of nationwide controversy over inconsistent hospital charges, The New York Times reported that the hospital "charged the highest amounts in the country for nearly one-quarter of the most common hospital treatments", which the Times associated with its 2008 restructuring after being acquired out of bankruptcy the previous year. In the same year, the hospital was ordered to award a "whistleblower" $2.1 million for being fired. According to a study conducted by National Nurses United and released in January 2014, the hospital was the 9th most expensive in the state, charging 763% above costs. Bayonne Medical Center entered the national spotlight again in 2014, when an investigative news team at NBC 4 New York reported that the hospital charged a New Jersey teacher nearly US$9,000 to bandage his middle finger. In 2015 a follow-up investigation covered the story of a Bayonne resident who was charged over $17,000 for stitches on a two-inch cut. The sale of hospital and the property on which it is located has been a matter of controversy. The city has considered eminent domain to settle the matter. In March 2023 it was transferred to the non-profit CarePoint Health system. In November 2024, CarePoint Health filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, blaming high rising costs and lack of state funding from New Jersey. The company listed assets between $500,001 to $1 million, and liabilities of no more than $50,000. CarePoint plans to keep its hospitals operating as it invests $67 million in financing. Since 2025, after the bankruptcy of CarePoint, the hospital has been part of Hudson Regional Health. References External links Official website

Bayside State Prison

Bayside State Prison (BSP) is a state prison for men located in Leesburg, Maurice River Township, New Jersey. The prison was originally the Leesburg State Prison. In 1988, the prison was renamed to "Bayside State Prison". Some Leesburg residents stated dissatisfaction with the renaming since it was the only widely known aspect of the Leesburg community. Launched in 1977, the prison is one of eight New Jersey correctional institutions which participate in the AgriIndustires program. Inmates are given work opportunities to reduce recidivism, including at the prison's dairy operation. Prisoners work seven hours per day and the milk is sent and processed to Jones Farm in Ewing. As of November 8th, 2022 the dairy farm operations closed with the shipment of milking cows and heifers to New Holland Sales Stable dairy cow auction in Pennsylvania. In 2020, a senior Bayside corrections officer was fired after he was seen participating in a reenactment of the murder of George Floyd, mocking protesters. The New Jersey Department of Corrections, which operates the prison, called it "hateful and disappointing", and Governor Phil Murphy condemned it, calling it repugnant.

Prison d’État de Bayside

La prison d'État de Bayside (en anglais : Bayside State Prison ou BSP) est une prison d'État américaine pour hommes située dans la localité de Leesburg (en), dans le township de Maurice River (en), dans le comté de Cumberland, dans le New Jersey, aux États-Unis. Histoire La prison était originellement connue sous le nom de prison d'État de Leesburg. En 1988, la prison est rebaptisée « prison d'État de Bayside ». Certains habitants de Leesburg (en) déclarent alors qu'ils ne sont pas satisfaits de changement de nom car l'ancien nom leur permettait d'avoir une meilleure reconnaissance de leur communauté. Ouverte en 1977, la prison est l'un des huit établissements correctionnels du New Jersey qui participent au programme AgriIndustires. Les détenus disposent d'opportunités de travail pour réduire la récidive, notamment grâce à l'exploitation d'une installation de production laitière dans la prison. Les prisonniers travaillent sept heures par jour et le lait est envoyé et transformé à Jones Farm située dans la localité voisine de Trenton. Détenus notables George Wright (en) (évadé en 1970). Il a peut-être utilisé la voiture du directeur lors de son évasion. Événements notables En 2020, un officier supérieur de l'établissement a été licencié après avoir été vu en train de participer à une reconstitution du meurtre de George Floyd, se moquant des manifestants. Le New Jersey Department of Corrections (en), qui gère la prison, a qualifié cette reconstitution de « haineuse et décevante » tandis que le gouverneur du New Jersey Phil Murphy l'a condamnée, la qualifiant de répugnante.

Bell Labs Holmdel Complex

Le Bell Labs Holmdel Complex est un ancien campus des Laboratoires Bell situé à Holmdel, dans le New Jersey (États-Unis). Conçu par l'architecte Eero Saarinen et construit entre 1959 et 1962, il a servi pendant 44 ans pour près de 6 000 ingénieurs. Son aspect rappelle volontairement celui des premiers circuits électroniques intégrés tandis que le château d'eau à l'entrée du campus rappelle l'aspect des premiers transistors. la plus grosse part des travaux qui y ont été menés ont porté sur l'informatique. Au mois d'août 2013, Somerset Development a racheté le bâtiment pour en faire un complexe mixte de commerces et de logements, mais les perspectives se sont assombries avec la prise de conscience des rigidités introduites par Saarinen dans l'utilisation des locaux, et le délabrement progressif des bureaux.

Belle Mead station

Belle Mead station is a train station along the CSX Trenton Subdivision and former New Jersey Transit West Trenton Line in the Belle Mead section of Montgomery Township, in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. History The current station was built by the Reading Railroad, opening to the public on December 8, 1919. This replaced the older station which was built in the late 19th century. The current Belle Mead station was closed in 1981 and is still standing. New Jersey Transit may reopen the station as part of the proposed revival of the West Trenton Line. This station was expected to have the second largest ridership on the branch with 290 daily passengers. If the station were to be reopened, two small station buildings would be renovated. Commuter parking would possibly be located on the eastside of the right-of-way with access from Route 206 with 300 parking spaces. The intersection of Township Line Road and Route 206 would be improved along with replacement of the adjacent Route 206 bridge over the railroad. Preservation New Jersey declared it one of the most endangered buildings in the state in 2019. References
