Cummings New Jersey Information Center, Newark Public Library. Background: Born in 1898 in Indiana, Dorland J. Henderson earned a degree in electrical engineering from Purdue. From 1932 he worked for the New Jersey Department of Transportation in various capacities, overcoming discrimination to retire in 1970 as Director of Traffic Engineering. A key project was the Route 72 bridge spanning Stafford Township and Long Beach Island, named for him in 2000, which made use of low level lighting. After retiring, he consulted on movable bridges until 1978. Elizabeth (Betty) Henderson, from Michigan, was educated as a social worker and worked for some time in the East Orange schools. She was also an accomplished weaver. D.J. Henderson Collection, Newark Public Library, Page 2 In 1954, the Hendersons purchased the run-down 18th-century Sydenham farmhouse on Old Road to Bloomfield adjacent to Branch Brook Park in the North Ward of Newark and over the decades painstakingly restored it.

    DEVELOPMENT OF AN INSPECTION CHECKLIST FOR RISK ASSESSMENT OF BRIDGES IN NEW JERSEY by LAYLA ISSA A thesis submitted to the Graduate School - New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science Graduate Program in Civil and Environmental Engineering written under the direction of Dr. Hani Nassif and approved by _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2008 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS DEVELOPMENT OF AN INSPECTION CHECKLIST FOR RISK ASSESSMENT OF BRIDGES IN NEW JERSEY By LAYLA ISSA Thesis Director: Dr. Hani Nassif In the aftermath of the September 11th tragedies, transportation infrastructure has become one of the most visible targets since its destruction could result in substantial human casualties, economic losses, and socio-political damages. Improving bridge security is very important in helping various governmental agencies protect and design structures to better withstand extreme blast loadings. Although many bridge owners have developed their own prioritization methodologies, there is still a need for a better approach to prioritize and assess all bridges not only in New Jersey but in the whole United States. This research focuses on bridges located in New Jersey only, however the analysis and results could be applied to bridges in other states. The studies include an analysis on risk management and vulnerability assessment by developing a checklist that will provide identification of critical bridges for security hazards and guidelines for bridge security design in order to reduce their vulnerability to attacks. The analysis will first start by identifying bridges in New Jersey and the different ii types available.

    Here’s a hint on the trivia-like question asked above: The answer relates to Rikers Island’s leading role in the 1939 birth of LaGuardia Airport. More precisely, it was a rebirth – that of a small North Beach, Queens, airfield, transformed into the country’s then largest municipal airport. Some said it was the world’s largest. What made the change-over possible was a half-mile steel span stretched across Rikers Island Channel. Trucks Traveled Trestle to Feed Rikers Landfill to Airport Site That massive trestle served as a kind of metal feeding tube, enabling an estimated17 million tons of Rikers Island landfill to be funneled into the future mammoth airport’s vast Bowery Bay-Flushing Bay construction site: 357 acres of marshland and underwater grid work. Tens of thousands of truck trips delivered the materials. Operations went on around the clock six days a week for two years. The span had a movable section which, in the open position, allowed passage of water craft through the Rikers Island Channel. Planners had chosen that arrangement rather than clog the channel with barges going back and forth. The crossing structure facilitated turning the 105-acre North Beach Airport, formerly the Glen H. Curtis Airport, into 557-acre New York Municipal Airport-LaGuardia Field. About three and a half decades later, a somewhat similar temporary crossing structure spanned Bowery Bay, linking the island and Queens to facilitate construction of the permanent bridge opened in 1966 and named for Rikers’ Supervising Warden Francis R.
