NJ Transits New Bridge: A Game-Changer for Commuters
Starting Monday, NJ Transit trains will cross a new bridge over the Hackensack River, marking the end of decades of delays caused by the old Portal Bridge. The new Portal North Bridge, with its taller design, eliminates the need for river boat openings, reducing disruptions for commuters. The upgrade allows trains to reach 90 mph, handling 450 daily trains and 200,000 passengers between the two railroads. The project, costing $1.5 billion, received federal funding and is expected to ease rush hour congestion.
