This pedestrian bridge would replace a bridge in this same location which has been removed because of its deteriorated condition but which previously afforded pedestrians access to businesses along Amboy Avenue and Metuchen's central business district.
Appropriates $130,000 to DOT for pedestrian bridge over abandoned railroad right-of-way.
