Route 70 Manasquan River Bridge Renamed September 11th Memorial Bridge
The Route 70 drawbridge across the Manasquan River at Point Pleasant is to be renamed September 11th Memorial Bridge.
Coincidentally the bridge is being replaced and the new bridge will contain the signage and landscapping.
In May, legislation sponsored by Senator Ciesla, Assemblyman Wolfe and Assemblyman Sean Kean was signed into law by Governor James E. McGreevey designating the bridge and funding the memorial signs. The bridge is the first section of State highway to be dedicated to victims of September 11th. Sections of State highway can only be given memorial names through legislative action.
