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."

BRIDGE DESIGN: Extra for shipping | Roads & Bridges: "The Bayonne Bridge opened on Nov. 15, 1931, as the longest steel-arch bridge of its day and retained that title for more than 45 years. The single-span through-arch truss stretches 1,652 ft across the Kill van Kull. The approaches, consisting of a twin steel-plate girder system with floorbeams and slab, take the overall length of the structure to 6,974 ft."
