NJ Transit, Portal Bridge Capacity Enhancement Design

Project Overview

The Portal Bridge has been in operation since 1910 and runs across the Hackensack River between the cities of Kearny and Secaucus. This rail bridge is a vital part of the Northeast Corridor system, one of the busiest rail corridors in the nation running service between Boston, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. The Portal Bridge Capacity Enhancement Project is being undertaken by Amtrak and NJ Transit. The project aims to improve and increase the capacity of this vital rail crossing. The preferred alternative was selected and the project progressed into the Final Engineering and Design phase.
