The iconic Newark Symphony Hall marquee that once greeted motorists entering Newark from U.S. Routes 1&9 has been missing for about two years ever since a car rammed into the poles holding it up.
Now, the historic venue has plans for a new entrance that will serve not only as a visual marker for Broad Street but also as a beacon for Newark’s creativity. The new design plan from Trenton-based architectural firm Clarke Caton Hintz features streetscape art and a lit-up dome marquee to welcome both concert-goers and motorists.
