Question: When was the operator of the Outerbridge Crossing established?
Context: Maurer is residential neighbourhood and industrial district of Perth Amboy in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States.  Its name is derived from the "company town" built there in 1876.  It is north of the Route 440 approach to the Outerbridge Crossing and south of the Perth Amboy Refinery, which began in 1920 as the Barber Asphalt Company.  For a time it was known as Barber, a name which has fallen out of use Route 440 is a state highway in New Jersey, United States.  It comprises two segments, a 5.15 mi freeway in Middlesex County linking Interstate 287 and the New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95) in Edison to the Outerbridge Crossing in Perth Amboy and a 8.18 mi four-lane divided highway in Hudson County running from the Bayonne Bridge in Bayonne to U.S. Route 1/9 Truck in Jersey City.  These two segments are connected by New York State Route 440, which runs across Staten Island.  The freeway portion in Middlesex County is six lanes wide and interchanges with the Garden State Parkway and U.S. Route 9 in Woodbridge. The Outerbridge Crossing is a cantilever bridge which spans the Arthur Kill.  The "Outerbridge", as it is often known, connects Perth Amboy, New Jersey, with Staten Island, New York.  It carries NY 440 and NJ 440, the two roads connecting at the state border near the bridge's center.  The Outerbridge Crossing is one of three vehicular bridges connecting New Jersey with Staten Island, and like the others, is maintained and operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.  The others are the Bayonne Bridge (which also carries NJ 440 and NY 440), which connects Staten Island with Bayonne, and the Goethals Bridge, which connects the island with Elizabeth. New York State Route 440 (NY 440) is a state highway located entirely on Staten Island in New York City.  The route acts as a connector between the two segments of New Jersey Route 440, running from the Staten Island community of Richmond Valley to the south to Port Richmond to the north.  NY 440 is connected to the two New Jersey segments by the Outerbridge Crossing to the south and the Bayonne Bridge to the north.  It is one of several signed New York State routes that are not connected to any others in the state, and one of only two NYS routes (NY 426 being the other) that is the middle section of another state's highway bearing the same number.  Much of NY 440 is a limited-access highway.  From the Richmond Parkway (Korean War Veterans Parkway) to Interstate 278 (I-278), it is known as the West Shore Expressway.  North of I-278, it is named the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  Expressway (also known as the Willowbrook Expressway).  NY 440 is the southernmost state route in the state of New York. The Korean War Veterans Parkway is a parkway that traverses the South Shore of Staten Island, New York, in the United States.  It officially begins at the Outerbridge Crossing toll plaza and runs from southwest to northeast to a merge with Drumgoole Boulevard in the island's Greenridge section.  The parkway is designated New York State Route 909C (NY 909C), an unsigned reference route, which continues northeast along Drumgoole Boulevard for a short distance to its end at an intersection with Richmond Avenue.  The westernmost 0.38 mi of the parkway overlaps with NY 440. The Perth Amboy Refinery is a refinery built in 1920.  It is located between Convery Boulevard and State Street in Perth Amboy, New Jersey adjacent to the Outerbridge Crossing.  Via rail it is served by Conrail's Chemical Coast and the former Perth Amboy and Woodbridge lines.  Oil tankers and lighter can reach the refinery along the Arthur Kill. The Bayonne Bridge is an arch bridge spanning the Kill Van Kull connecting Bayonne, New Jersey with Staten Island, New York City.  It carries NY 440 and NJ 440.  The Bayonne Bridge is the fifth-longest steel arch bridge in the world, and was the longest in the world at the time of its completion.  The bridge is also one of four connecting New Jersey with Staten Island; the other two roadway bridges are the Goethals Bridge in Elizabeth and Outerbridge Crossing in Perth Amboy, and the rail-only Arthur Kill Vertical Lift Bridge, all of which traverse the Arthur Kill. Harbortown is a planned community neighborhood in Perth Amboy in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States.  It is situated south of the Outerbridge Crossing along the Arthur Kill, between the city's traditional waterfront and the Kinder Morgan terminal The 135-acre area was the Lehigh Valley Railroad's (LVRR) Easton and Amboy Railroad's marshaling yards where coal was loaded onto barges until the LVRR's bankruptcy in 1976. Eugenius Harvey Outerbridge (March 8, 1860 – November 10, 1932) was a businessman and promoter of patent fiberboard, and the first chairman of the interstate agency known then as the Port of New York Authority.  The Outerbridge Crossing, a Port Authority bridge, was named for him. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) is a joint venture between the U.S. states of New York and New Jersey, established in 1921 through an interstate compact authorized by the United States Congress.  The Port Authority oversees much of the regional transportation infrastructure, including bridges, tunnels, airports, and seaports, within the geographical jurisdiction of the Port of New York and New Jersey.  This 1,500 mi2 port district is generally encompassed within a 25 mi radius of the Statue of Liberty National Monument.  The Port Authority is headquartered at 4 World Trade Center and is a member of the Real Estate Board of New York.
