Goethals Bridge

SPR served as counsel to the consulting firm responsible for preparing the EIS for the initial proposal by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to construct a new bridge across the Arthur Kill, between Staten Island and New Jersey, paralleling the Goethals Bridge. Our work included the review of the proposed EIS and related issues related to transportation impacts, numerous transportation alternatives and a variety of permitting issues.  The Firm represented the Port Authority with respect to the revised proposal, including advising on the updated EIS, issues under Section 4(f) of the Transportation Act, and hazardous waste remediation.
