The Program is currently in the Preliminary Design phase for the reconstruction between Interchange 14 in Newark and Interchange 14A in Bayonne and Jersey City. This is the highest priority project. It will replace the Vincent Robert Casciano Bridge (Newark Bay Bridge), the major structure over Newark Bay connecting Newark to Bayonne, with two new bridges. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2026 and last 8 -10 years. The other projects in Bayonne and Jersey City will occur in the next decade.
