New Bridge Arrives; Opens Tuesday

South Orange's new blue bridge is here. The bridge arrived in two pieces this morning. It was lifted by a crane, then the two parts connected, then lifted into place. Work continues on the approaches to the bridge. The bridge is expected to open for traffic on Tuesday, according to trustee Janine Bauer, who attended the installation.

The trucks and crane attracted a number of kids and interested passersby. If you took photos, please add them to this story or email to: marciaw@patch.com
