Show Notes
Commuters rejoice! Starting this Sunday, westbound trains on the Northeast Corridor will enjoy faster, more reliable rides thanks to the new Portal North Bridge over the Hackensack River. This upgrade, part of the massive Gateway Project, replaces the century-old Portal Bridge with fresh track, new signaling, and overhead power lines. The new bridge allows trains to reach speeds up to ninety miles per hour, significantly reducing trip times into Penn Station. While the old Portal Bridge faces demolition by 2027, the broader Gateway effort, including the key Hudson River Tunnel, still faces funding challenges. However, officials remain committed to securing the full project.
