Flood Risk Rising in Ausable, Boquet Watersheds

Flood Risk Rising in Ausable, Boquet Watersheds

Recent state-funded flood studies have highlighted increasing risks in the Ausable and Boquet watersheds in the Adirondack region of New York. These studies project that flood flows on the state’s steepest rivers could increase by 33% or more over the next 75 years. The so-called 100-year floods of today, which have a 1% probability of occurring annually, are expected to become twice as likely by the end of the century. Homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure, including fire stations and water treatment facilities, are already at risk and could face even greater challenges as river discharges continue to rise. The reports also map high-risk areas and propose mitigation strategies, such as replacing undersized bridges and creating floodplain benches to manage overflow. These findings underscore the growing impact of climate change on local communities and infrastructure.

Former New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy Secured $766.5 Million Federal Funding for Portal North Bridge Project

Former New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy Secured $766.5 Million Federal Funding for Portal North Bridge Project

In January 2021, former New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced the signing of a Full Funding Grant Agreement, which secured $766.5 million in Federal Transit Administration funding for the Portal North Bridge project. This project is a crucial component of the larger Gateway Program, designed to double rail capacity between Newark and New York. The funding supports the construction of a new modern two-track, high-level, fixed-span bridge over the Hackensack River. This new bridge will rise 50 feet, allowing marine traffic to pass underneath without interrupting rail traffic, a significant improvement over the existing 116-year-old Portal Bridge. The project is primarily funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the state of New Jersey, and Amtrak. NJ Transit and Amtrak are currently in the final phase of cutover work, transferring the final track from the old bridge to the new one, with full service expected to resume on the new bridge by November 15, subject to safety testing.
