Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 48:12-43, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 48:12-43.
Where a railroad is constructed across a stream where the tide ebbs and flows and
by reason of the narrowness of the stream or shallowness of water it is unnecessary
or impracticable to construct a pivot draw with 2 openings or any draw, the company
may apply to the Department of Conservation and Economic Development, who shall, after
personal inspection and due inquiry, determine what character of bridge is proper
and whether any drawbridge is necessary and if so, the character and dimensions thereof
and how the same shall be maintained, considering the extent and importance both of
the navigation of the stream and of the public travel over the railroad. The determination of the department shall be filed by it with the clerk of the county
or counties in which the bridge lies and shall bind the company. A compliance with this determination by the company shall be a full performance
of its duties and obligations with respect to the bridge.
