If you can prove what you paid in Federal taxes in 1955, I'll gladly refund to you my estimate of the fraction of that sum that allowed my parents to take me over the 202 bridge to Lambertville for ice cream after the hurricane.
The ice cream itself was paid for with private funds.
That said, being able to move military materiale into New Jersey over US 202 was probably the defense-oriented rationale. Being that the bridge crossed a state line didn't hurt either...commerce clause, y'know.
