>New Jersey Turnpike Authority Bridge contract a secret it’s classified
New Jersey Turnpike Authority commissioners approved a $79 million bridge security contract on Tuesday that is so sensitive, officials can’t say how many spans are involved, which bridges will be worked on or what the work is.
The board awarded a $79.225 million contract to Tishman Construction Corp. of NJ for construction management and general contracting services to perform security improvements to the “highest security” bridges on the Turnpike and Garden State Parkway.
And in a scene reminiscent of Jack Bauer in the TV show “24,” officials said the rest is classified.
“I can’t say the number of bridges, they are high priority bridges,” said Veronique Hakim, authority executive director. (Higgs, Gannett)
