Across the Hudson Bridge Plan Moves Toward Reality
Private talks and congressional acts culminate in a New York New Jersey bridge linked to a mammoth union station and hotel. The $40 million project would span 2000 feet with six tracks, connecting Manhattan between Fifty-ninth and Sixty-ninth streets to the Jersey shore rail lines. Railroads would pay for the depot and bridge, with through trains using Jersey flats integration and a viaduct tunnel plan extending to One Hundred and Sixty-third Street. A rapid transit line is urged to speed intramural traffic and suburban access.
