New York spends $39 million on improvements

   The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said that on Monday its board of commissioners approved a $39 million investment to design and reconstruct a section of Corbin Street – one of the main roadways serving the New Jersey Marine Terminals – along with the wharf and culvert at Berth 3 in Port Newark.
   The port said the project will maintain the berth in a state of good repair and allow a key port road to accommodate future growth.
   The port said in 2011 one major area of focus was to greatly enhance the port’s existing internal road network. Work began to widen McLester Street in the Elizabeth-Port Authority Marine Terminal, and to widen and realign Port Street and Brewster Road.
