Creating: Feats of Bridge-Building Bravura: Murray Johnson - WSJ.com: " Mr. Johnson has designs on New Jersey's Bayonne Bridge, the fourth-longest steel-arch bridge in the world. Local officials want to elevate the roadbed of the 1931 bridge a full 64 feet, to accommodate the larger container ships that are expected after the widening of the Panama Canal in 2015. Mr. Johnson is working with a shortlisted contractor on a bid to pull off that feat while keeping traffic flowing. More than that, he won't say."

RAISING THE BAYONNE BRIDGE: YEAS AND NAYS | Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance

RAISING THE BAYONNE BRIDGE: YEAS AND NAYS | Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance: "The raising of the Bayonne Bridge to allow passage of the bigger container ships that will begin to churn through the expanded Panama Canal on their way east in 2015 has spurred great debate. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey asserts that the billion dollar project will be an economic and environmental boon to the region, with newer, cleaner ships visiting the port and fewer vessel calls overall.

Some agree; others do not. Below are excerpts from statements by individuals, agencies and civic organizations. All submitted testimony may be read here."

Panama Canal widening resonates a continent away with worried residents at East, Gulf ports - Daily Journal

Panama Canal widening resonates a continent away with worried residents at East, Gulf ports - Daily Journal: "One of the most remarkable transformations is proposed not far from the Ironbound. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey wants to raise the Bayonne Bridge, a soaring steel arch span that connects Bayonne, New Jersey, with New York City's Staten Island borough, by 64 feet. The $1 billion project would allow post-Panamax ships to reach Port Newark and the Elizabeth Port Authority Marine Terminals in New Jersey and Howland Hook in New York. It was fast-tracked by President Barack Obama last year and is expected to be completed in 2016. Channels near the bridge will be deepened to 50 feet."
