NJ DEMS WANT FEDS TO SIGN OFF ON PORTAL BRIDGE
The big dogs of NJ government gathered at Secaucus Junction on Wednesday to call on the federal government to sign off on the Portal Bridge rail project, a replacement for the aging rail bridge that frequently causes delays and slowdowns for NJ commuters. Gov. Phil Murphy, along with several prominent NJ Democrats, said the state is ready to put up $600 million to replace the 109-year-old bridge, which often fails to close and literally requires a man with a sledgehammer to "come out and knock the rail into alignment," according to Jerry Zaro, chairman of the Gateway Program Development Corp.
