The Portal Bridge was built in 1910, the same year William Howard Taft was president. On February 13, 2026, Amtrak began connecting its replacement to the Northeast Corridor—the first major infrastructure upgrade on America's busiest rail line in over a century. The new Portal North Bridge sits 50 feet above the Hackensack River, high enough that ships can pass underneath without the bridge opening, eliminating a chokepoint that has caused 2,000 hours of delays since 2014.
