Port Street Corridor Improvement

This corridor provides access to one of the Port Authority’s marine facilities that makes up the largest and busiest cargo gateway on the East Coast.

This project will feature a more efficient roadway configuration with a wider turning radius, allowing for safer trucking operations to and from the Port Newark complex. The improvements will additionally offer truck drivers significant time savings while they navigate the complex, enhancing efficiency and reliability across the supply chain as well as significantly reducing carbon emissions each year.
