Belleville Turnpike Bridge, in season 1 or season 2 of the Sopranos you can see the older Bascule drawbridge version of the bridge that the new lift span replaced. The towers house the lift mechanisms for the bridge. I use to walk across that bridge a ton when I lived in Belleville. I even saw the bridge open for marine traffic once.

I used to go there all the time when I worked nights on Halsey St. It usually was the only place that was still open that late and UberEats wasn't crackin' yet. Not surprised it's being closed down. Shit was more hood than some cornerstores. Didn't feel like a 7/11 at all.
