This article is all one intro section. I thought the WP guidelines specified 4 paragraphs for the intro. In this case one would do, identifying the bridge, when it was constructed, and when it was sealed closed. There should be a long section on the history of the bridge. There could be a section on the gradual decline of use. If there is discussion about its future, that's a 3rd section, however small.

Etymology
I came here from the disambig page because of the (to me) peculiar name. Is this really the official name, or a nickname? Is this name found on official maps? What do the letters WR stand for?

The Erie Railroad named their bridges with two-letter codes, often related to the nearest station or what they were crossing. In this case "WR" comes from "West ARlington", the station that was adjacent to the bridge's east end. Other Erie bridges in the area included HX, which the Hackensack River crossing, NX, a crossing in Newark, and DB, a bridge near the Long Dock Tunnel.
