The Goethals Bridge is getting a $1.5 billion replacement.

The Port Authority announced Wednesday it has formed its first public-private partnership to build a wider, bike-friendly, high-tech cable-stayed span linking Staten Island to Elizabeth, N.J.

The new Goethals, set to be completed in 2017, will be the first bridge built by the Port Authority since it opened the George Washington Bridge 80 years ago.




There will be a bike/pedestrian pathway on the bridge
