I can't find any proof that this pier was actually built, much less that it meets GNG. As of this version:

Sources 1 and 2 establish that Flemm applied to build the pier, but not that it was actually built. (The claim in the article that the Army Corps built the pier is a misinterpretation of these sources.)
Source 3 is about a completely different pier over a mile away from the location described in sources 1 and 2
Source 4 is a municipal code listing that does not mention this specific pier at all.
Sources 5 and 6 are general tourist information sites that do not mention this specific pier at all.

Even if the pier was built, it seems unlikely that it would pass GNG. There are [https://www.google.com/maps/@40.3903819,-73.9803109,877m dozens of similar piers] on this river. A BEFORE search fails to find any significant coverage - or indeed any coverage but sources 1 and 2 - about this pier. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:47, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Delete there are some old ferry advertisements mentioning an "Atlantic Highlands Pier" in NJ but it seems like it's referring to a pier that existed by the 1920s[https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Port_of_New_York/-rt22KghLM8C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=highlands+pier+new+jersey&pg=PA140&printsec=frontcover](p.140) so that doesn't even match up with the building date in the article.

:HELLO PI! I met you about late summer of 2023, just a short time after I started editing here! You were fantastic, told me you were passionate about help files and to ping you if I needed help, but I didn't even know what that was or how to find you again, haha! Anyway...

:*Delete. Is this [https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ht-bin/tv_browse.pl?id=1359e4361ff5d0ffd58f4bb0924d089b "amusement park pier"] the one in your link? Maybe [https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/central-railroad-jersey-cnj-atlantic-3782192111 this] is it too. [https://www.discoverseasideheights.com/history/train-advertising This detailed description] predates what we want, I'm guessing... I'm with you. I'm betting his pier never got built. Historic aerial photos south of the bridge in the decades after the 1940s don't show anything like an amusement pier.
