新泽西收费公路68亿美元纽瓦克湾大桥更换工程破土 新桥2031年通车
新泽西州官员11月5日在贝永市（Bayonne）为新泽西收费公路纽瓦克湾大桥更换工程破土动工。州长米基·谢里尔（Mikie Sherrill）与州交通官员一同出席仪式。该工程耗资68亿美元，是新泽西收费公路管理局历史上规模最大的单体项目。
新桥为斜拉桥，连接纽瓦克与贝永，将取代已有70年历史的现有纽瓦克湾大桥。州政府表示，新桥预计2031年或2032年完工通车，现有大桥在新桥建成前继续使用。整个纽瓦克湾至哈德逊县延伸段改造计划还包括沿线其他桥梁与道路改善。
收费公路管理局表示，工程资金来自通行费收入，已纳入该局长期资本计划。新桥建成后将改善纽瓦克港区与贝永之间的货运与通勤通行条件。
另据泽西市市政府11月2日公布，泽西市警察局扩大交通执法编制后，首周开出1,495张罚单，较前一周的824张增长81%。
Ground Broken on $6.8 Billion Newark Bay Bridge Replacement on the New Jersey Turnpike; New Span to Open in 2031
New Jersey officials broke ground in Bayonne on November 5 for the replacement of the Newark Bay Bridge on the New Jersey Turnpike. Governor Mikie Sherrill attended the ceremony with state transportation officials. The $6.8 billion project is the largest single project in the history of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority.
The new cable-stayed bridge, linking Newark and Bayonne, will replace the existing 70-year-old Newark Bay Bridge. State officials said the new span is expected to open in 2031 or 2032, with the current bridge remaining in service until then. The broader Newark Bay-Hudson County Extension improvements program also includes other bridge and roadway work along the corridor.
The Turnpike Authority said the project is funded by toll revenue under its long-term capital plan. Once completed, the new bridge is expected to improve freight and commuter travel between the Newark port area and Bayonne.
Separately, the City of Jersey City announced on November 2 that after its police department expanded its traffic enforcement division, officers issued 1,495 summonses in the first week, up 81% from 824 the week before.
