caption_attribution_description: English: New w:Goethals Bridge over w:Arthur Kill between w:Staten Island, New York City and New Jersey in the USA. Supports for the old bridge are visible to the right of the new dual bridge. Also showen is the w:Arthur Kill Vertical Lift Bridge carrying a freight railroad track. The two barge-to-rail transfer facilities of New York City's new solid waste disposal system are also visible. One is on the New York Container Terminal on Staten Island, near the bottom, and is used by w:Covanta Energy; the other, on the New Jersey side between the Goethals Bridge and the Arthur Kill Vertical Lift Bridge, is used by w:Waste Management. Solid waste containers are on barges near both facilities.
context_page_description: The Goethals Bridge is a cantilever bridge that connects Elizabeth, New Jersey and Staten Island, New York. It was designed by John Alexander Low Waddell, who also designed the Outerbridge Crossing, and built by the Port of New York Authority. It opened on June 29, 1928, the same day that the Outerbridge Crossing opened. It was named after George Washington Goethals, who looked over the construction of the Panama Canal and was the first consulting engineer of the Port Authority.
  The bridge of one of three bridges that connect Staten Island with New Jersey. The other bridges are the Outerbridge Crossing and the Bayonne Bridge in Bayonne, New Jersey.
  The bridge was replaced in 2018 and demolition began. The new bridge will have pedestrian and bicycle access, which the old one lacked.
