The new Hudson County Boulevard Bridge and the enlarged Journal Square Plaza in Jersey City, which cost $3,500,000 and have been under construction for two years, were formally opened last night after ceremonies which were watched by thousands. Twelve mayors of Hudson County municipalities opened the bridge when they cut a ribbon strung across it. Extensive fireworks displays and a parade followed.

Preceding the opening of the bridge, Governor Moore of New Jersey and Mayor Hague of Jersey City speaking at a dinner of the Jersey City Chamber of Commerce in the Elks Club, praised the undertaking and predicted prosperity for New Jersey and Hudson County.

The new bridge, which is said to be the largest of its kind in the world, crosses the tracks of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad, and is expected to relieve traffic congestion at this point after the opening of the vehicular tunnel, to which it will lead. It is 300 feet long, and 220 feet wide. The enlargement of Journal Square was made possible by the condemnation of buildings.
