Heading: Bayonne Bridge.

Text: The states also authorized the Authority to construct, maintain, operate and own a bridge across the Kill van Kull between Bayonne, New Jersey and Staten Island, each state appropriating $50,000 for preliminary studies with provision for repayment of these advances. Construction was approved by the War Department in 1927 and the bridge was completed in 1931 at a cost of over $13,000,000, which was financed by the sale of bonds of the Authority to the extent of $12,000,000 and by advances by the two states in the amount of $4,100,000 with provision for repayment of the advances as in the case of the other bridges. Congress granted its consent to the construction of the four bridges above mentioned. N.J.S.A. 32:1-94 et seq.; Laws N. Y.1926, c. 279.
