Port Authority Awards Contracts for 3 Bridges
Three of the New York area’s major bridges are set for facelifts totaling nearly $3 billion over the next few years.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey approved contracts for work on the Bayonne Bridge, Goethals Bridge and Outerbridge Crossing during its monthly board meeting Wednesday.
The new Goethals Bridge will cost about $1.5 billion and feature wider travel lanes and pedestrian/bicycle access. Work is due to begin later this year, and the bridge is expected to open to traffic in 2016.
A $1.3 billion project will raise the roadway of the Bayonne Bridge by 64 feet to accommodate bigger cargo ships from the expanded Panama Canal by 2015.
Resurfacing on the Outerbridge Crossing is expected to be finished by the end of this year.
