In my 16 years in Newark, I've never seen it moved.The first time I explored that bridge, NX, was from the Harrison side in 1979 and the control room was gutted. And the way all the handrails and steps leading to the control room were rotted and rusted, it's safe to assume that the bridge was inactive for quite some time before my visit.
