Newark celebrates start to Mulberry Commons Pedestrian Bridge

Work has begun to bridge the space between Newark Penn Station and Mulberry Commons in the state’s largest city, offering a direct route for pedestrians to Prudential Center and the Ironbound.


On Sept. 19, Mayor Ras Baraka, Gov. Phil Murphy, Senate Majority Leader M. Teresa Ruiz, D-29th District, Newark Municipal Council members and others gathered in the park as “one of the most important redevelopment projects ever undertaken in Newark” enters its next phase, with the groundbreaking of the Mulberry Commons Pedestrian Bridge.

It will be great to have that new entrance hall for Newark Penn. In conjunction with the station renovation, what an improvement.

I still don't understand what is being renovated as the station was overhauled less than 10yrs ago... They should take that underground parking area and turn it into an Amtrak lounge.

Secaucus Junction is one of 2 Commuter Rail Stations with Fare Gates , the other being EWR Station.

I hope one day Secaucus Junction can get HBLR and really function better as a true intermodal hub for North Jersey.

The L and the PATH had proposals in the 30s - 60s for an extension to the area where Secaucus Junction is located at. The 60s proposal for the PATH seems to be a last ditch effort to save the dying commuter rail lines in North Jersey. Had the proposal gone through, several lines would have still been in use.

That telephoto lens really makes the main line look like a rollercoaster. My preference is it wouldn't look that bumpy.

I hope they build Elmhurst Station in the coming years. That will help relieve congestion along Queens Blvd. corridor.

Not sure if that's part of the current MTA capital plan.

I think it was taken out, but you never know with the MTA.
