Does anyone know what kind of bridge the Port Authority of NY and NJ are going to use to replace the old 1924 structure between NJ and SI?
I heard that originally the PANYNJ wanted to twin the crossing, but now rumors have it that it will be replaced with a cable stayed bridge with two decks.
You could always look it up (http://www.goethalseis.com/)...

Problem is it is not concrete and PANYNJ has not posted it, or I have not looked deep enough. Sometimes I get better info here than there.
Closed quote tag.
My buddy who works for the PANYNJ says, on condition of anonymity, that it will be a low-level drawbridge, with 20 expected openings per hour. It will be signed as I-99.

That might be a way to get people on to the island via the expensive Verazano Bridge.
Don't be ridiculous. No one at the PANYNJ has friends. (KIDDING! Considering I have a few friends there.) Pretty sure it's cable-stayed.
Just doing my job to make sure the info is sometimes better "there" than here :biggrin:
Hmmm... biggrin is the same size grin as the normal smile, just a different color.
