Hoboken’s 14th Street Viaduct to Be Replaced
After deeming Hoboken, New Jersey’s 14th Street Viaduct structurally deficient and functionally obsolete despite its history, Hudson County selected TranSystems and its team of Stantec, KS Engineers, and T.Y. Lin International/Medina to complete a replacement design for the 100-year-old viaduct.
Currently, the 14th Street Viaduct stretches almost ¼ of a mile and rises over 70 ft carrying over 20,000 vehicles per day. It is also considered an iconic landmark in the Hoboken skyline and a result, the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office required certain steps to be taken to have the replacement structure appropriately reflect the context of Hoboken’s historic district.
