High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Bayonne Bridge is the fourth-longest steel arch bridge in the world, and was the longest in the world at the time of its completion. It connects Bayonne, New Jersey with Staten Island, New York, spanning the Kill Van Kull. The bridge is one of three connecting New Jersey with Staten Island, and the only one not to traverse the Arthur Kill. The Goethals Bridge in Elizabeth and Outerbridge Crossing in Perth Amboy are the other two New Jersey-Staten Island connecting bridges, and both the Bayonne and Outerbridge carry traffic on both NY 440 and NJ 440.
