NJ Turnpike Authority Secaucus Interchange Section 1

Fast-Tracked Delivery

Secaucus, New Jersey

We designed ramps to fit under an existing Amtrak rail bridge and between tightly spaced piers. We widened and redecked a bridge over NJ Transit tracks and a passenger platform while the facilities remained open.

Our design of four interchange ramps and the widening of more than a mile of the New Jersey Turnpike mainline also required maintenance of traffic for the duration of construction.

We closely coordinated with Amtrak to build under and next to this regionally critical Amtrak Northeast Corridor overpass and fit the new roadway in a very tight space.

During construction, we resolved significant geotechnical and environmental issues by innovatively using right-of-way that was available to New Jersey Turnpike Authority to satisfy NJDEP regulations, saving the cost of purchasing additional ROW.

As part of the connection of the New Jersey Turnpike to the new Frank R. Lautenberg Secaucus Junction Station, we designed a new $38 million interchange with a 950-foot-long multi-span, horizontally-curved flyover ramp bridge. When the internment of Potter's Field burial site (located under the interchange footprint) threatened to delay the project, we accelerated the schedule and completed contract documents within 11 months.
