“An economic analysis of the Newark Bay-Hudson County Extension Improvements Program released July 24 found that the program’s first project will generate $2.8 billion in economic activity and create more than 25,000 jobs, many offering prevailing wage and benefits, totaling $2 billion in earned income.”
“The first project includes the replacement of 16 bridges and nine ramps. This is the highest priority because of the deteriorating condition of the nearly 70-year-old structures. Construction will begin in 2026 and is estimated to take 10 years. A major portion of the project is the replacement of the Vincent R. Casciano Bridge over Newark Bay with twin cable-stayed bridges.”
