With aging rails, glitchy signals, and reliability woes, the bridge is getting a full transformation: converting from movable to fixed, replacing steel, tracks, and overhead wires. The U.S. Coast Guard approved the change, and construction kicks off this year, wrapping in 2029. Funded mostly by the Federal Railroad Administration, this upgrade supports over 700 trains daily and is vital for 90,000 New Jersey riders — a critical fix for the Northeast Corridor’s busiest stretch.
