Railroad bridge in New Jersey
About
The Portal North Bridge is a railroad bridge that carries the Northeast Corridor (NEC) over the Hackensack River in Hudson County, New Jersey. It is located in Secaucus west of Secaucus Junction and Kearny east of the Sawtooth Bridges. The bridge, used by Amtrak and NJ Transit, entered into service on March 13, 2026.
The bridge is part of the Gateway Program to rehabilitate and expand the NEC between Newark Penn Station and New York Penn Station and replace the 115 year-old swing-span Portal Bridge. It is a fixed span (with the main spans formed by three steel tied arches) with a vertical clearance of 50 feet (15 m) above mean water level and allows train speeds of at least 90 mph (140 km/h).
