Change in Route of Bridge
Desired By Ocean City
Boosters

by an adroit about face the
Ocean City Chamber OF Commerce
has overcome the difficulties OF
building a bridge from Longport
to Ocean City, escaping the prohib-
tive cost such structure would
entail il built in direct line from
the end of Longport across the
dangerous waters of Great Egg
Harbor Bay. Instead of crossing
the bay in straight line, tack
will be made to the northeast con-
Meeting with a small island there,
and thence to the Somers Point
boulevard. The distance from Long
port is short. By the change of
route the bridge will dodge the ter
rifle seas in storms, have a water
depth Of not more than IS feet,
and be short compared to what
any other structure would require.
Surveys have almost been com
pleted, and the bridge will be ready
by 1928, it is promised. Financing
has been arranged.
