All is in flux with ARC dead. Not sure where it is headed at this point. Not expecting any great leadership to come from NJ.

Stephen - Hope you're doing well. Wanted to touch base to see if there was any update on the Portal Bridge project and to see if Amtrak has a defined path moving ahead. Thanks, Hunter

Hunter - We are still a go, as far as we know, on the PE work but the big driver will be whether FRA awards NJ's grant request for the bulk of the funding in the next couple of weeks. Without that, NJ has no $ to build this thing and we certainly don't.

Stephen,

I understand that the potential ARC cancellation is causing delays on the North Portal Bridge project even though the NP Bridge is independent of the ARC project scope. I spoke to Eldie about this earlier this week, but was hoping you may be able to shed some additional light on the status of the funding stream for the NP Bridge.

Thanks, Hunter
