The Portal North Bridge is a railroad bridge under construction to replace the original Portal Bridge, which carries the Northeast Corridor (NEC) over the Hackensack River. It is located in Kearny and Secaucus, New Jersey, just west of Secaucus Junction and east of the Sawtooth Bridges.
The new bridge is part of the Gateway Program to rebuild and expand the NEC between Newark Penn Station and New York Penn Station.[2][3][4] The Portal North Bridge is fixed span with a vertical clearance of 50 feet (15 m) above mean water level, and would allow train speeds of at least 90 mph (140 km/h).[5]
