NOTHING DONE TO
FIX kEYPORT SPAN
All Hope of Repairing Span Has
Been AbandOned-WiII Give
Contract This Week.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

..
Keyport, Sept. 14-Nothing has
been done in the shape of repairing
the drawbridge which spans the Mat
avian creek at West Keyport, con-
Meeting Front street with the Amboy
road. The girders buckled Sunday
morning when the west end of the
bridge was being pulled by a tug
boat after the bridge had been open
ed and those in charge were unable
to close it. After the bridge had
been turned off twenty or thirty feet
the west end suddenly collapsed
and sunk almost to the meadows.
Since that time no traffic other
than foot traffic has been able to
cross the bridge. The Jersey Central
Traction Company has to transfer
the trolley passengers across the
bridge and all automobile traffic has
to be switched off by the way of Mat
avian, either to New York or toward
the shore line.
The bridge collapsing at this time
will cause great amount of incon-
venience, as all the farmers from
the vicinity of Cliffwood are COM
pelled to take their produce all the
way around Matawan before they
can land 1t at the Keyport boats.
1t was at first thought that the
bridge could be repaired enough to
accommodate the traffic until the
new bridge was built, but all hope of
repairing it has now been abandoned
and the talk is that only accommo-
dation for foot passengers will be
arranged
The Board of Freeholders are at
this time considering the bids for the
proposed new bridge, which it Is
thought will be started as soon as
possible, but which will take from
six months to a year to finish and
during that time the inconvenience
to those concerned will be especially
bad.
The new bridge to be built will be
several feet south of the present
structure and will be of the jack
knife variety. 1t is understood that
the bids of the successful bidder will
be announced Thursday or Friday
of this week A watchman has been
stationed at the drawbridge to direct
the traffic over the necessitated new
course.
