This Day in History: 1933-10-18
The Capital Highway Budget proposals were announced. Included is $1,275,000 to complete Route 2 to the State line. The only remaining section unbuilt is the stretch from Ridgewood to Ramsey. $250,000 is allocated to acquisition of the right-of-way; $75,000 for the construction of bridges and viaducts and $950,000 for construction. These proposals must be approved by the Governor and the Legislature before a spade is turned. (Bristow)
