The Federal Railroad Administration awarded $91.5 million to Amtrak and NJ Transit for the replacement of the century-old Portal North Bridge in Kearny, Gov. Phil Murphy said on Tuesday.

The bridge, which carries more than 450 Amtrak and NJ Transit trains a day, was given higher priority status in February by federal transit officials for repairs, which made the $1.8 billion replacement project eligible for federal funding.
