Tonnelle Ave Bridge and Utility Relocation

Location:
New Jersey
Value:
$28M
Status:
In Progress

This is Phase 1 of the The Hudson Tunnel Project which will create resiliency, redundancy, and reliability for rail commuters between New Jersey and New York Penn Station.

Tonnelle Avenue is a non-tolled highway in North Bergen, New Jersey, maintained by the New Jersey Department of
Transportation (NJDOT) that carries U.S. Routes 1 and 9 through Hudson County. The Project consists of utility relocation and the construction of a new roadway bridge to carry Tonnelle Avenue over a new railroad Right-of-Way (ROW) for the new Hudson Tunnel Project (HTP). This new ROW will allow for a connection to a new tunnel portal at the western slope of the New Jersey Palisades.

Conti has broken ground on this critical project which is expected to generate significant public benefits to the region during the construction of the new Hudson River Tunnel, including improved traffic safety, better travel time reliability, congestion relief, and better emergency response times, as well as providing access.

The team will safely manage construction activities while avoiding any potential impact to current operations.
