NJ TRANSIT BOARD ACTS TO SEPARATE RAIL, VEHICULAR TRAFFIC IN NORTH BERGEN

Plan will improve safety, ease congestion and pave way for commuter rail

NEWARK, NJ - The NJ TRANSIT Board of Directors today authorized property acquisitions that would lead to a new vehicular and pedestrian overpass at 69th Street in North Bergen. The overpass would improve safety and ease congestion by separating existing freight service from trucks and automobiles.

On a typical weekday, the crossing gates go down 59 times as freight trains pass on any of the six tracks, bringing vehicular and pedestrian traffic to a halt.

"I have fought for this project for years, and it is gratifying to finally see it moving forward," said State Senator Nicholas J. Sacco. "Separating the vehicles and pedestrians on 69th Street from freight trains will greatly improve the quality of life for North Bergen residents by improving the flow of traffic and enhancing safety."

"This project would bring added safety and relief from traffic congestion in the short term," said Transportation Commissioner and NJ TRANSIT Board Chairman Jack Lettiere. "In the long term, it offers the promise of commuter rail service on a line where only freight exists today."

The project, known as a "grade separation," would also facilitate future commuter rail service between North Bergen and Tenafly on the Northern Branch, a lightly used freight rail line owned by CSX Transportation. NJ TRANSIT plans to study reactivation of passenger service on the Northern Branch rail line using self-propelled "diesel multiple unit"

(DMU) railcars.

The New Jersey Department of Transportation will reimburse NJ TRANSIT for land-acquisition costs, as well as pay for the design and construction of the project.

Preliminary engineering has begun on the $67 million grade separation project. Construction is expected to begin in summer 2006, with completion expected by the end of 2007.

In the Corporation's long-term plans, passenger rail service would connect Northern Branch riders with Hudson-Bergen Light Rail service in North Bergen for access to the Hudson River waterfront. In time, the Northern Branch would be linked to a new set of tunnels under the Hudson River for direct rail service to Midtown Manhattan.

NJ TRANSIT is the nation's largest statewide public transportation system providing more than 779,200 daily trips on 240 bus routes, three light rail lines and 11 commuter rail lines. It is the third largest transit system in the country with 162 rail stations, 52 light rail stations and more than 17,000 bus stops linking major points in New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia.
