New York and New Jersey will share state-level funding contribution for $1.7-billion Portal North Bridge project, a long-awaited Northeast Corridor upgrade to begin construction later this year.
This session will give an overview and status of the Port Authority capital plan including impacts associated with the COVID pandemic and the timing of upcoming projects such as the Lincoln Tunnel Helix replacement, the JFK Airport redevelopment program, the remainder of the “Restore the George Program” and state of good repair projects at Ports, PATH, Tunnels and Bridges and Aviation Facilities.
Two leaders at the New York City Dept. of Transportation will discuss strides the agency has made in procurement reform to help it do business more quickly and efficiently. One is a new citywide procurement program launched recently called Passport, and another is an agency-specific program called Bridges CPMS, a cradle-to-grave system providing data to the bridges team for more effective project management. They will share Vision Zero, a program to save lives using speed cameras, and discuss the agency’s commitment to inclusiveness and equity with minority vendor programs—both federal (DBE) and city (MWBE).
This presentation eye-opener will explore the age of city’s inventory. For NYC DOT, rehabilitation and reconstruction turns into historic preservation whether on signature structures over the East River or smaller ones in Central Park. These leaders will highlight significant projects in the capital plan and mention the agency’s first design-build procurements, likely coming out at the end of the year.
This session will review the 10 year effort to increase resiliency and capacity along a 10-mile stretch of the North East Corridor between Newark, N.J., and Penn Station, New York City, including two active projects—the Portal North Bridge and the Hudson Tunnel.
