The replacement of the 111-year-old swing bridge is the first part of the larger Gateway Program to begin construction. First track should open by 2026.

The state is using some of its record surplus to pay for construction without having to borrow for it. Some of that will upgrade seven NJ Transit stations.

The incidents cited in the lawsuit are all from the pandemic era, in which tensions ran high over mask rules. But the problem goes back decades.

The prospect for a single masks-required car on NJ Transit trains was discussed at length in a board committee meeting on Friday.

NJ Transit will continue to encourage mask wearing and supply free masks while supply last.
