Estimated to cost $67 million in 2005, funding's been sporadic. In 2006, was announced that $38 million had been allocated for the project. Approval for construction was given in 2007 and ground was broken in October 2008. NJDOT allocated multi-year funding for the project in its Capital Program: $10 million in 2009, $15 million in 2010, $10 million in 2011, at which time remaining construction costs were estimated to be $55 million. Work in 2013 may have been from last round. No funds were committed in 2012 or 2013. The HBLR Northern Branch is planned to run on new viaduct between CSX North Bergen Yard and NYSW track, so maybe they are waiting for final EIS and/or design for that. 69th St Bridge will have to travel over at-grade freight and elevated light rail, so the height and subsequent incline of the overpass will be pretty severe unless they more subtly arc it from Tonnelle to West Side.
