The Newark Bay-Hudson County Extension (NB-HCE) Improvements Program (the Program) has been developed to replace the entire length of the 8.1-mile NB-HCE corridor from New Jersey Turnpike Interchange 14 (Milepost N0.0) in Newark to the eastern terminus of the New Jersey Turnpike Authoritys jurisdiction at Jersey Avenue (Milepost N8.1) in Jersey City. The NB-HCE is a primary corridor connection from the region to port terminals, major residential and commercial developments, and New York City via the Holland Tunnel. The existing structures that carry the mostly elevated NB-HCE roadway, originally constructed circa 1956, are nearing the end of their serviceable life. The Program corridor runs through Essex and Hudson Counties which includes three (3) municipalities: Newark, Bayonne, and Jersey City. The Program will address the integrity of the roadway and structures, the need to improve regional mobility, as well as the need to improve safety. The preliminary engineering design and initial environmental services for the Program are anticipated to be completed by mid-2025. The Authority has engaged a Program Manager (PM Team) for the Program.
