USA-COE HK75 1963, NJ, is a US Army (USA) Corps of Engineers (COE) survey disk mounted in a drill hole in the surface of the south sidewalk of the steel truss swing bridge that carries Court Street/West Fort Lee Road over the Hackensack River in Bogota, Bergen County, NJ. The road is known as Court Street on the Hackensack (west) side of the river, and West Fort Lee Road on the Bogota (east) side of the river. The survey disk is located near the southeast corner of the bridge. The disk is about 48 feet east of the southeastern-most superstructure component, about 24 feet west of a brass plaque mounted vertically in the north face of the balustrade wall at the southeast corner of the bridge, and in the center of the sidewalk. The disk is stamped U.S.H.L. MON. HK. 75 N.Y.DIST. C. OF E. 1963. To reach from US Interstate Highway 80 westbound from New York City, take Exit 66 to Kennedy Street. Go east on Kennedy Street for about 0.22 miles to South River Street. Turn left and go north-northwest on South River Street for about 0.77 miles to Court Street. Park in the auto store lot in the southeast angle of the intersection of South River Street and Court Street, and pack easterly along the south side of Court Street for about 160 yards to the east end of the bridge and the station in the sidewalk. Recovery of this station first logged on the Geocaching datasheet for survey disk HK 76, PID = AI8455.
