NEW BRIDGE OPENED
CONNECTING CAMDEN
WITH SOUTH JERSEY
Huge Steel Span Costs $90,
000, Double Contemplated
Price, Because of United
States Government Re
quirements. Camden's new $00,000 steel bascule brldgo
across the Newton Creek nt Hrondwny
wns opened for tralllc today. The brldgo
connects Gloucester nnd Intermediate
points with Cnmden. No formal dedica
tory exercises marked the opening. Tho
bridge will bo olllclnlly turned over to tho
county authorities nt tho next meeting of
the Hoard of freeholders.
The price. M,000, Is Just twice what the
Camden County authorities otlglnally
plnnned to expend on the structure, the
difference from the original cost being thn
amount necessary to mnko tho brldgo ot
tho btisiuitc or, .a It Is more commonly
known, the lift type. This wns mndo
necessary by Hie demnnd ot the United
States War Department, which Insisted
that In the llpht of the possible future
deepening of Newlon Creek nlong the linn
of gonernl Inland waterways development,
the bridge must be so built ns to permit
water trafllc to points beyond.
Tho lift fenturo of the bridge will not
be utilized ns yet, although It Is fully
equipped for the purpose, with the excep
tion of the lifting power, which can be
Instnlled nt n week's notice by the
county engineering department. This
will not be done until the Pennsylvania
iinllrontl replaces the wooden trestle over
which Its electric trains to Atlantic City
now pnss with a lift or drawbridge. It
Is rumored thnt tills Is nlrendy con
templated by the railroad nnd Hint the
work will ho started In a short time.
Tho action nf the War Department lu
demanding that n lift brldgo be bulll
across Newtown Creek wns contrary to
the genernl desire of the community. The
New York Shipbuilding Company, which
Is tint u few hundred feet away and
which wns most Intel ested In the develop
ment nf Nnwmwn Creek for water tralllc
.nil waived nil surh claims.
The Itrnndwiiy bridge Is perhaps Hie
ino"t Important one lu Hie county ns it l
on tho direct route to southern points in
Jersey. It Is used dally by a stendv
stieam of cnrrlnge and wagon trnlllc niul
two lines of trolleys running to Olou
cester City. Woodbury. Mantua and other
southern towns. Until todny this 1 ruffle
wns all by way of a temporary structure
erected eight months ago to replace the
nil wooden bridge Hint was built to span
til,' siren in when Camden and fllouccslor
were Utile more than villages.
Camden has long had n steel bascule
hililgo at Federal street across the
Cooper TUvor, but the new structure lu
tho southern section nf the city Is of a
much more recent and perfected design.
During lis construction many olllclals
frcm distant cities visited the work and
commented favorably on the span nnd Its
modern lifting apparatus.
