WUT? I just watched the construction video. Guess they never looked at the I 10 bridge over the Pear River at the LA/ MS state line or the Industrial Canal bridge in New Orleans or perhaps the new Rigolets bridge on Hwy 90. Those guys have a lot more angle than that and are real nasty when they ice up.
raised bridge but the approach on Bayonne side is nearly same location.... so steeper incline
