N.J.'s Portal Bridge Receives $38.5M for Final Design
A replacement design for the century-old Portal Bridge over the Hackensack River between Kearny and Secaucus, N.J., will receive $38.5 million in funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The replacement of the two-track bridge is intended to lessen delays on Northeast Corridor commuter rail service and increase capacity and reliability. Approximately 420 passenger trains use the current bridge each weekday.
