A "ghost bridge" has emerged at the Oak Ridge Reservoir in northern New Jersey, attracting visitors. This three-arched stone structure appears when water levels drop, revealing remnants of a long-lost village. City officials clarified that the bridge's visibility is due to maintenance work, not drought conditions. The reservoir, created in the 1890s, was built after the villages of Oak Ridge and Wallace Corner were submerged. Residents are intrigued by the bridge's durability, as it has remained intact despite being underwater for years. The reservoir will be refilled once maintenance is completed.
