Route 88 Lift Bridge
Lakewood Road, Point Pleasant, NJ 08742, United States of America
(NJ 88)
Route 88 Lift Bridge carries the M5 motorway over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Point Pleasant Canal).
The Act of Parliament for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Point Pleasant Canal) was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from George Wright who owned land in the area. The canal joined the sea near Stockport. Expectations for stone traffic to Willbury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Point Pleasant Canal) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the use of the canal for cooling Pembroke power station was enough to keep it open. In John Hunter's "Travels of The Wreck" he describes his experiences passing through Bernigo Embankment during the Poll Tax riots.
