allocated to New Jersey for roads and bridges over the next five years under the legislation.
The state had 482 bridges, or 7.1% of its 6,798 bridges, rated as deficient in 2021, according to an analysis of Federal Highway Administration statistics by NJ Advance Media. That ranked New Jersey 21st among the 50 states. In 2020, 502 spans, or 7.4% of the state’s 6,801 bridges, were in poor condition. There were 602 deficient bridges in the state in 2012.
That I-80 bridge work currently is under design, Schapiro said. Earlier DOT documents estimated the cost of replacing the structure at $60 million but the final number won’t be known until the design is finished, he said.between Hackensack and Teaneck that was built in 1931. Some New Jersey bridges are even older.
The infrastructure bill also includes incentives to states to spend some of that funding on local bridges. While a state ordinarily has to pay 20% of the cost of bridge construction, the cost of repairing or rehabilitating local spans can be covered solely with federal funds.
Our corrupt NJ politicians are already drooling over how much they can steal.
Bridges? How about damned roadways. The worst roadways In the country. NYC roads are better than ours. !!
I'm wondering how many people complaining about this are actually in the U.S, much less New Jersey.
More waste and fraud, 3 has tax increases and 2 tolls, roads still garbage
Why are people mad about infrastructure money?
1 bridge?
And they still Raise toll prices GovMurphy unbelievable who’s keeping that money
Thank you, RepMalinowski !
Do we even need bridges? Use the money to lower property taxes!
Not much it will not go very far in this overpriced state.
What it means is NJ has been so irresponsible at spending money wisely on its infrastructure that now we have to depend on federal welfare to fix the broken state! That’s what it means! Then, if it’s fixed, BROKEN NJT can utilize it in their dysfunctional fashion!
Why would a state with ridiculously high taxes nee federal help. Because to many new jersey government employees male to much money to sit on their ass all day. And democrats spend to much. The state is a septic tank
Barely any of this money will be used on roads. Instead it will go into the pension fund for the humps that worked for the turnpike authority.
Cool, can we cut all tolls and the gas tax in half then?
Tolls will still keep rising

IT MEANS NOTHING,TOLLS STILL GOING UP🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully it’s used to clear up some of those college tuition loans.
Thank you President Biden!
Unfortunately 50 cents on the dollar will only contribute to bridges the rest will be wasted in admistrative, bureaucracy and regulations
Lmfao- after the payouts to each corrupt union and politician, There will be nothing left!!
Between our taxes and tolls we should have the world's greatest roads, instead we are paying fat retirements for political appointments and nepotism from both parties.
It means Republicans will whine like babies while we get new roads and bridges.
But tolls go up. I hope it really goes to fix our roads and bridges but I doubt it. njtolls njroad
It means NJ Dems will split up $1.1B , for their own use.
