Bayonne Bridge Raising & the Environmental Justice Impact | Eastern Environmental Law Center

Bayonne Bridge Raising & the Environmental Justice Impact | Eastern Environmental Law Center: "Plans are in place to raise the Bayonne Bridge 65 feet in order to allow the new generation of supersized Panamax ships to pass under it.  The U.S. Coast Guard is reviewing an application from the Port Authority for New York and New Jersey.  As such, the U.S. Coast Guard is conducting an environmental review of the proposed project under the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”).  EELC has been closely monitoring this as well as other NY/NJ port developments on behalf of its client, the Coalition for Healthy Ports (the “Coalition”)."
