A little about the road where our marina is located .....
Great Bay Blvd., also known as 7 Bridges Road actually only has 5 bridges......Bridges 6 and 7 were never built.
The 4 mile peninsula was to be connected to Brigantine then to Atlantic City during the early 1900’s. If completed, it would of saved 20 miles of driving to get to Atlantic City.
There are a few reasons it wasn’t completed -
#1 - It was going to cost millions to complete the bridges (over $35 million in today dollars).
#2 - The water was too deep - about 40 foot - which made it much harder to complete the connection.
#3 -It was volatile around the inlet and the powers that be worried about shifting and the land sinking. This would have caused flooding and the road to be washed out at times.
It would have been nice if it had been completed, but now it is just a road into our pristine wifelife preserve.
