The Victory Bridge consists of twin 3,971' long structures and features a 440’ long precast concrete segmental main span built in balanced cantilever. This span length was chosen to accommodate significant shipping traffic on the river, providing a 355’ navigational channel. The southbound span was opened to traffic 15 months after construction began, and the northbound span was erected in just nine months. The bridge was built sequentially alongside the original structure. Two-way traffic was shifted to the new southbound span, while the northbound structure was constructed in the original bridge's footprint. Approaches were constructed using precast segmental span-by-span methods. The bridge is founded on 55 drilled shafts that vary in diameter from 6’ to 8’.

The original 75-year-old swing span bridge was dedicated to honor World War I veterans. The new bridge continues this tradition with memorial obelisks at the abutments, incorporating bronze plaques from the existing bridge and two new plaques. At 150’ intervals along the bridge, light poles and pilasters display commemorative bronze plaques, creating a visual tribute to the victory of World War I.

A tightly compressed design schedule was essential to reduce the costs associated with maintaining the existing bridge. New Jersey Department of Transportation rated the design and CEI performance with their highest rating (5 out of 5).
