Gov. Christie among those applauding Obama for fast-tracking Bayonne Bridge project
The local shipping industry, port officials and New Jersey’s Republican governor are applauding President Obama’s decision to fast-track a project to raise the Bayonne Bridge roadway.
“This is great news for New Jersey and great news for the region,” Gov. Chris Christie said in a statement tonight. “In addition to the job growth and economic activity created by this project — putting thousands of hardworking men and women of our building trades back on the job — this world-class project will secure the Port of New York and New Jersey’s role as the premier port of the east coast and as a powerful engine of our state and regional economies.” (Strunsky, The Star-Ledger)
