What if the road from Tuckerton to Atlantic City was completed? 

If a 1927 law was seen to completion, a spur of Route 4, now Route 9, would have connected Tuckerton to Atlantic City via Little Beach, the last uninhabited island on the Jersey Shore. That would have provided a shortcut from North and Central Jersey to Atlantic City and the South Jersey beaches, rewriting the shore's history forever.
However, only the Ocean County side was completed, which is now Great Bay Boulevard or Seven Bridges Road. Joe Martucci digs into why shortcut was never built and how the shore would have changed forever if it was.
