Sixth Avenue Bridge, aka the North Sixth Street Bridge, is a pony truss vehicular bridge over the Passaic River in northeastern New Jersey. It connects the Bunker Hill neighbourhood of Paterson and Prospect Park at the border with Hawthorne via North Sixth Street (CR 652). It was originally constructed 1905 as a steel structure supported on stone masonry piers and abutments and is one of several bridges built after the Passaic Flood of 1903.
In 1987, the crossing was rebuilt with temporary components which have since deteriorated. In 2015, the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority granted funds to study the bridges eventual restoration or replacement.[6]
