Caption: Belleville Copper Rolling Mill Marker
Additional Description: Built in 1838, this aqueduct-style brownstone arch bridge spans across the Second River along side of Mill Street in Belleville, NJ, and was used for copper mill operations and transporting. In 1924, Harmon Hendricks generously donated 20 acres of his land to the Essex County Park Commission. As of 2016, this arch bridge was threaten to be demolished by the township. Fortunately due to protests by the good citizens of Belleville, the bridge is currently undergoing restoration.
