JC Bridge Possible Future

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Based on the limited information and schematic rendering available from Mercer County regarding the proposed roadway re-alignment and removal of Jacob's Creek Bridge, and discussions with professionals based on that schematic - we have posted a 2-dimensional image and a cartoon rendering below to allow citizens to see how the countys' proposal will effect our historical landscape, allow a viable alternative for truck traffic, allow for increased speed limits, and destroy Washington's Victory Trail forever.

YUCK. A disgrace and revolting. Yet, where is the sketch of that horrendous big bully Jansen Pharmopsychoticals? We should have a contest to see who can draw the best rendition of this debacle and Jansen Parmopsychoticals must be in the drawing to win.

I commute every day on 579, and am now forced to use rt 29 and get on 95 south at Exit 1 which is really dangerous in my opinion. Why can't they either fix the existing bridge ( how about a metal grate bottom to replace the wood ), or just replace the bridge and put a new one in the exact same location, without doing all the proposed highway extension? Keep 579 off-limits to big trucks. Then they could do something smart with the money like fund the West Trenton RR line extension.

Interesting cartoon! The only point worth noting: don't think there will be ANY trees left. The 200 year sycamore will be the first to go. It's right on the path of the "Huges Victory Trail"
