'The Empty Sky' 9/11 memorial in Jersey City will be ready by 10th anniversary


Officials said the "Empty Sky" 9/11 Memorial at Liberty State Park in Jersey City may be completed and open by the 10th anniversary of the attacks, The Jersey Journal reports.

The memorial will consist of two steel-plated walls that form a walkway to the Hudson River that will give visitors the feeling of walking between the World Trade Center towers.

The names of 9/11 victims will be engraved on the steel interior of the memorial.

Some, however, have slammed the planned memorial for obstructing views of the Manhattan skyline.
