NEW HUDSON RIVER BRIDGE

A new suspension bridge Is to be
built across the historic Hudson riv-
er from Anthony's Nose on the east
bank above Peekskill to Bear Noun
tain on the west bank.
1t is expected that the new bridge
viii, be completed in 1924 and will
cost 100000. The last state legis-
lature Of New York authorized its
construction. 1t will probably be
called the Bear Mountain bridge and
will not only open up new routes Of
traffic below Albany, but may be Of
future value to the War Department
in its approach to West Point.
Engineer Frederick French says:
THE structure will be Of the
suspension type with clear span of
1850 feet between towers. two shore
spans about 200 feet each, and clear
height of 135 feet above the Hudson
rived. Tower, trusses and floor sys-
tenn will be of structural steel"
The concrete roadway will be 40
feet wide and the concrete sidewalk
four feet wide. The roadway will
have a loading capacity Of 20 pounds
per square foot, or Of a moving load
Of 80 tons.
The New York State Highway De-
partment estimates that the motor
traffic Of automobiles and trucks will
number at the lowest estimate $780,
500. This estimate is based upon
statistics compiled for the year 1920.
Tolls will be charged for a period Of
80 years.
In case Of a ferry strike between
New York and New Jersey. this
bridge will be of great value. 1t will
also lessen the truck traffic through
New York City.
The new bridge will accommodate
the many 'toists who go to view
that section Of the beautiful Hudson
river. immortalized by Washington
Irving. "the father Of American lit
erature," in his Legend Of Sleepy
Hollow" and in his Diedrick Knick-
erbockers History of New York.
1t will span the same river up which
Henry Hudson, an Englishman, in
the employ of the Dutch, sailed in
1909 on his little vessel of so tons
burden, the Half Moon" in quest Of
the northeast passage to India. 1t
will be another connecting link be-
tween Eastern New York and New
England on the east, and Western
New York and the other states on
the west.
