being- opened before the public.
General Goethals and Professor
Burr, consulting- engineers, sat with
the Port Authority and staff.
The Port Authority has supplied
Governors Smitli and Moore with de
tailed descriptions of the bridge. The
following is a copy of the description
sent to Governor Moore.
The elevation of the floor of the
bridge, approximately 240 feet above
water level, is determined by the gen
eral topography on both sides of the
river. It .leaves a clear height of 195
feet above mean high water at any
point between piers, which clearance
has been found sufficient by the War
Department. At that elevation the
bridge floor strikes the face of the
Palisades Cliffs about 50 feet below
the top of the latter.
The New Jersey approach is so
planned that it will rise with a 4 per
cent, grade in an open rock cut from
the face of the cliffs to the surface at
Lemoine avenue, about 2,000 feet dis
tant. In order to keep the silhouette
of the Palisades intact, the cut is to
be screened by a rock-faced masonry
portal through which the roadway en
ters, and which is utilized to carry a
foot-walk across the cut along the top
of the. cliffs. Hudson terrace is
to be slightly depressed to pass under
the bridge approach.
Corresponding to the arrangement
of the highway deck on the bridge
proper, the approach roadway is di
vided into three separate roadways,
the central one of which is to be 40
feet wide and is to be constructed first,
ready for the initial traffic, while the
two 24-foot outside roadways are to
added later. About 500 feet east of
Lemoine avenue the combined ap
proach roadway is to be widened to
about 100 feet to provide room for the
toll collection.
The approach is to terminate m a
circular plaza. Thia form of plaza
is recommended because it permits
. ' of greatest flexibility in the handling
of traffic and for the' connection of
future highways. From an architec
tural point of view also it is most
desirable. However, should it become
advisable at any time to separate the
bridge traffic to and from west of Le
moine avenue from the through traf
fic on Lcmoino avenue, such separa
tion may be effected by depressing Le
moinc avenue.
Ample space is provided between
the plaza and the toll booths for'the
possible accumulation of vehicles.
Street connections are also planned
between the plaza west of Hudson ter
race, which latter may carry a con
siderable volume of bridge traffic,
more particularly pleasure vehicles
bound for the Henry Hudson drive,
which may be readied via Hudson ter
race.
