The 364-foot-long bridge – which spans the Passaic River between the Township of Lyndhurst and the Township of Nutley - will need about $7.3 million in remedial repairs during the next 10 years to keep it in service, NorthJersey.com reported.

A 2014 re-evaluation report classified the bridge "in poor overall condition and is structurally deficient,” NorthJersey.com stated.

The public meetings will take place on Monday, Oct. 17 at the following locations:

• Lyndhurst Senior Citizen Center – 2 to 4 p.m. (with a presentation at 2:30 p.m.), 250 Cleveland Avenue, Lyndhurst
• Nutley Town Hall, Council Chambers – 6 to 8 p.m. (with a presentation at 6:30 p.m.), 1 Kennedy Drive, Nutley
