- IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER (PLEASE READ):
I was invited out along with a few guests of mine to tour the Portal North Bridge Construction Site by Skanska USA and was allowed to take photos & videos throughout the tour. All on-site safety rules & precautions were followed throughout this site visit.
Never trespass on private property, railroad property, construction sites (etc). It's not only illegal but also dangerous.
Hey Everyone! In today's video, you will see some footage I took on my tour of the Portal North Bridge Construction Site. This footage includes walking around the site, standing atop a section of the new bridge, and a few NJT & Amtrak trains passing by. An appearance is made by the Amtrak "Corridor Clipper" & NJT Hudson Protect Set.
On June 18th, I was kindly invited out to the site by Skanska along with a few guests of mine. It really was an awesome tour and provided some great insight into the project, and showed me just how much goes into transit infrastructure projects like this. As I want to pursue a career in civil engineering in the transportation sector in the future, this experience proved fun, educational, & helpful to me. I would truly like to thank the folks at Skanska who made this possible. I would also like to thank my guests who attended.
Photos I took will be uploaded to my Instagram page (link in channel description) over the coming weeks.
Please consider giving the video a thumbs up and subscribing to my channel for more content like this!
Thanks for watching!

What a great tour of on-site of the brand new Portal North Bridge
They’re really moving along with construction!
@@davidng2336 They sure are! And there ahead of schedule too!
Cool video, nice inside look at something most people don’t get to see.
A missed opportunity to show more of the construction, especially the “ duck under” which someone was describing in the background (18:24).
Awesome video does the current Portal bridge have a horn, siren, whistle, buzzer or alarm signaling the opening and closing of the bridge?
@kirkzevola5004 thank you! There was an amtrak worker on the bridge that would sound an air horn before the bridge would move to open or close
Did you catch that on film?
@kirkzevola5004 no. I used that to know when to start filming
After I heard the worker sound the air horn I started filming
Damn that would have been cool to hear as I always wonder which draws utilize different methods of sound as a warning before opening and closing. I’ve always wondered what the Portal Bridge sounded like. But hope you had fun out there.
How are they going to navigate getting the tracks around the I-95 columns?
It is not near the highway.
