  • Regional Transit Projects Project Sheet | Portal Bridge Replacement (Portal North)
    Appendix B Capital Plan Project Sheets Regional Transit Projects Project Sheet | Portal Bridge Replacement (Portal North) Description The existing Portal Bridge is a ±960-foot long structure which carries the Existing: Portal Bridge Northeast Corridor (NEC) over the Hackensack River between Newark Penn Station and Secaucus Junction. The existing movable, swing span bridge was constructed in 1910, is 110-years old, and has exceeded its originally intended service life. Due to its age and frequency of use, the movable bridge is costly and difficult to maintain and experiences frequent breakdowns. The two-track bridge creates a bottleneck between the four-track territories to the east and west and requires train speed reductions of 30% which contributes to a decrease in rail service reliability. Given its low vertical clearance to the river, frequent bridge openings are required to accommodate marine traffic. Also, mechanical component malfunctions often cause the bridge to be open for extended periods of time, resulting in frequent, lengthy delays of rail service on the NEC. Additionally, the existing bridge does not have enough capacity to accommodate anticipated future demand. If funded, this project would replace the existing bridge with a higher, more reliable, double track fixed bridge on a new alignment to the north of the existing bridge. The increased vertical profile would eliminate interruptions to rail service due to required bridge openings. The new north bridge would also eliminate speed restrictions, thereby improving Proposed: New Bridge rail operation and capacity across the span. A second, two-track southern bridge, Portal South, is contemplated separately as part of the overall Gateway Program, which when complete would substantially increase operational capacity along this critical length of the NEC.

  • Executive Summary Justification of Perth Amboy Site for a New Jersey
    Executive Summary Justification of Perth Amboy Site for a New Jersey Transportation Heritage Park Introduction “Few states can equal New Jersey’s rich transportation heritage, but, up to now, we have lacked the means to tell the story. New Jerseyians have had to go to neighboring states to learn about New Jersey’s transportation and its role in creating the New Jersey we enjoy today.” A Master Plan for the New Jersey Transportation Heritage Center, May 2000 Executive Summary, p.3. The New Jersey Transportation Heritage Park “will showcase the extensive history oF surFace transportation in New Jersey and its relationship to the development oF the state." Ibid. It will enable New Jerseyans to “enjoy their transportation heritage without having to travel outside the state as is now the case.” Ibid. Items oF New Jersey heritage are displayed and / or operate in many other states and cities, notably CaliFornia, Connecticut, Maine, Ohio, Pennsylvania, St. Louis, MO, Washington, DC as well as in many places around the globe. Past Efforts at Establishing a New Jersey Transportation Museum The process started in 1987 with the New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Museum Study Commission. That Commission concluded that a NJ museum experience was long overdue. Subsequently, in 1993, the Study Commission considered proposals For host sites For the Heritage Center. In 1999 the Commission successFully received approval and funding from the State Legislature for development of a Master Plan For a site in Phillipsburg. Next, NJ TRANSIT authorized the preparation oF a Master Plan For that site by a team led by Wallace Roberts Todd.

However, Patchogue Station does not feature an express bus to NYC and has travel times to Manhattan that are 20 to 30 minutes longer than from Glen Street Station. Nevertheless, Patchogue Station represents a more robust overall intermodal transit location than Glen Street Station for the following reasons: 1. LIRR service between Patchogue and New York is more frequent. 2. The nearest stations to Patchogue are approximately 4 miles in each direction, compared to approximately ½ mile at Glen Street Station. There are five stations within a 4-mile radius of Glen Street Station, compared to two stations in the same radius of Patchogue.

BOROUGH OF POINT PLEASANT BEACH STRATEGIC RECOVERY PLANNING REPORT OCEAN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Executive Summary When Hurricane Sandy struck the coast of New Jersey on October 29, 2012, it brought extensive damage to Point Pleasant Beach Borough. A large number of residential properties and businesses suffered damage. Additionally, roadways were flooded and covered with sand, and electricity service was disrupted. The Borough also experienced damage to bulkheads, dunes, its boardwalk, and other important features.
