Commuters, Rejoice! The New Portal Bridge in New Jersey Is Ready for Riders.

The old Portal Bridge disrupted rail commutes in New Jersey for decades, frequently getting stuck when it swung to let boat traffic pass. Now a new bridge is open to the public.The Portal North Bridge’s arches were built at the Port of Coeymans, near Albany, then floated down the Hudson River and up the Hackensack River to the job site.
