Highlands-Sea Bright Bridge
- Highlands-Sea Bright Bridge
The Highlands-Sea Bright Bridge is a 1,240-foot drawbridge, built in 1932, to connect Highlands, New Jersey in the west to Sea Bright, New Jersey in the east, across the Shrewsbury River. The eastern terminus is at the entrance to Sandy Hook. The span is part of Route 36. Between 2008-2011 it will be replaced with a fixed span instead of a drawbridge. It will rise 65 feet instead of the original spans 35 feet.
