NORTH WILDWOOD - Wildwood . Mayor and Assemblyman Guy F. Muziani has proposed to state Department of Transportation Commissioner John Sheridan that consideration by given to the construction of a bridge-tunnel across the Delaware Bay. Muziani told the DOT chief that the bridge, which would replace the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, would create new jobs, increase tourism and bring more business to Atlantic City casinos. It would be built in connection with the completion of Rt. 55.
