...
i lived there and NJ is full of lift bridges. vehicular traffic bridges are typically down and only raised for marine traffic while train bridges are normally kept raised except for when a train is approaching.
for the most part the bridges i remember only affect taller boats and they would signal to the local operator when they needed the bridge raised. i can't recall a lift bridge i've ever seen that totally blocks marine traffic like this one does.
