A consortium led by Australia-based 2378 Macquarie Group and Kiewit of the US, known as NYNJLink, is to build a new US$1.5bn bridge connecting New Jersey and New York City in the US.

Chairman of the 2422 Port Authority of New York and New Jersey David Samson said that the Authority will hold on to the ownership of the existing Goethals Bridge. Upon completion, 35 yearly payments of roughly US$60 million per annum will be made to the consortium.

A maximum of $500 million 2364 US Department of Transportation low-interest loan, and $363 million from the Port Authority will go towards the new bridge’s construction. A four-decade contract to construct, maintain, finance and design the bridge will be given to NYNJLink. The two sides have yet to sign a final concession deal for the bridge, which has been billed as the biggest transportation project to be constructed with private funding in the region.
