Long Branch yesterday opened for travel the first reinforced concrete bridge in this section of New Jersey. The $27,600 structure replaces an older bridge worth $30,000, with experts noting it could have been built for under $20,000 twenty years ago. The event included a luncheon hosted by contractor Jesse A. Howland and remarks from local Freeholders led by John Daly.
