New York Hudson Bridge Placed as Engineering Feat
An article recounts Dum-Bell & Co engineers declaring a Hudson River bridge possible with a 300 foot central span and four 12 foot diameter cables. It notes 450,000 tons of steel, $100 million base cost plus $115 million for terminal towers at 685 feet, and forecasts 26 million vehicles and 200 million passengers by 1940 if plans materialize. It contrasts massive public expenditure with the idea of scaling back New York’s growth, cites Ackerman praising the project, and discusses broader economic and transportation issues including German trade and auto ownership trends.
