GOETHALS BRIDGE REPLACEMENT (ICE) ELIZABETH, NEW JERSEY/STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK ENGINEER CHECKING CHECKING INDEPENDENT INDEPENDENT Photo credit: PANYNJ / Rendering credit: The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey The Goethals Bridge Replacement involves the construction of a new bridge to replace the existing 85-year- old bridge that carries I-278 over the Arthur Kill and provide access for commuters and freight carriers between New York and New Jersey. The new Goethals Bridge Replacement is a twin structure, carrying three lanes and a shoulder in each direction, a multi- use path and a provision for future mass transit to be placed in the center. Each cable-stayed structure is 1,982 ft (604 m) long, with a main span of 900 ft (274 m), and consists of a steel grillage made composite with full-depth concrete panels. There is a total of 10,570 ft (3222 m) of approach bridges, with a typical 170 ft (51.8 m) span consisting of precast prestressed concrete girders and a CIP deck. SYSTRA IBT was appointed as the Independent Check Engineer (ICE) by the NYNJ Link Partners, a joint venture between Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Asset (MIRA) and Kiewit Development Corporation. In the role of ICE, SYSTRA IBT performed a completely independent analysis of the bridge structure based on the design plans including independent modeling, structural verification, and compliance reviews conforming to contractual requirements.

Traffic Rules and Regulations/"Green Book" (PDF, 220
TRAFFIC RULES AND REGULATIONS For the Holland Tunnel Lincoln Tunnel George Washington Bridge Bayonne Bridge Goethals Bridge Outerbridge Crossing Revised September 2016 The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is a self-supporting agency of the States of New York and New Jersey. It was created by a compact between the two States in 1921 for the development of transportation facilities and the promotion and protection of commerce in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan region. At the top of the organization is the twelve-member Board of Commissioners, appointed by the Governors of New York and New Jersey. There are six members from each state who serve for six-year overlapping terms. The Commissioners serve with-out pay as a public service. They report directly to the Governors of the two States, who have veto power over Commissioners’ actions. A career staff of more than 7,000 employees, headed by the Executive Director, is responsible to the Board of Commissioners. Over the years the Port Authority, at the direction of the States of New York and New Jersey has developed airports, marine terminals, bridges and tunnels, bus terminals, the PATH rapid transit system, the World Trade Center and other facilities of commerce and transportation. All of this has been accomplished without burden to the taxpayers. These undertakings are public projects; all are built with moneys borrowed solely on the Port Authority’s credit. There is no power to tax, or to pledge the credit of the States. i FOREWORD This booklet is intended to provide the users of Port Authority tunnels and bridges with detailed and specific information concerning rules, regulations and toll rates established by the Port Authority to regulate the conduct of traffic moving in or upon these vehicular crossings.
