NJTR = New Jersey Transit
It "replaced an older swing span from 1901 on the site, which had been damaged by shifting currents....The current drawbridge schedule at Upper Hack (as stated by U.S. Coast Guard, 33 CFR 117.723) allows the bridge to open on signal unless the bridge tender is at the nearby HX Draw on the Bergen County Line upstream."

Built in 1959, replaced a 1901 swing bridge. Originally DL&W, now NJTR.
The DL&W had two bridges over the Hackensack within a couple of miles of each other. Thus the names Upper Hack ("U") and Lower Hack ("L").
