The Goethals is planned for replacement, and has been structurally obsolete (as well as the Outerbridge Crossing) for more than thirty years. Construction on a replacement span has been repeatedly delayed, despite the obvious need for it for the last decade. The PA is trying to find a private company to build it, and lease it back to them, since they're claiming poverty. I don't see it, as they're collecting at least $6 for every vehicle that crosses it.The Bayonne Bridge is supposed to have its deck raised significantly to provide clearance for larger ships once the Panama Canal modernization (widening) is completed. That plan essentially leaves the superstructure in place, but builds a whole new bridge within it. |
