Port Authority to replace Goethals Bridge, raise roadbed of Bayonne Bridge, simultaneously | NJ.com: ""For the first time since 1931, the Port Authority is going to build two bridges at the same time," Bill Baroni, the agency’s deputy executive director, told members of the Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey Thursday.
The agency will be simultaneously raising the roadbed of the Bayonne Bridge — to boost clearance for container ships while replacing the entire aging and congested Goethals Bridge. The Bayonne Bridge raising is projected to cost $1 billion, while replacing the Goethals, a public-private partnership, would be $1.5 billion."
