No, if you mean the concrete structure north of the remaining Boonton Lin=
e
track.  That dates from the 1920's when the double track bridge over 53 w=
as
built and the line expanded to 4 tracks for most of its length.  There is=
 a
builder's plate on that bridge, unlike the single track bridge removed in=

August this year - that one was from 1907, as was the other single track
bridge which used to be north of it and was removed in the early 1970's.

The grade separation of the Boonton Line over Main Street was the result =
of
the construction of the Morris County Traction Company's trolley line; co=
st
was shared by them, the DLW and Denville.
