WATCH: Time-Lapse Video Shows Cranes Working On Bayonne Bridge

Are you ready to get your time-lapse video fix for the day?

Port Authority of NY/NJ officials recently shared an interesting video of the construction currently taking place at the Bayonne Bridge.

The construction – part of the Port Authority’s “Raise the Bridge” project – is slated to complete in “mid-2019,” according to officials.

“The project marks the first time engineers are building a bridge roadway above the original span, even as the lower road continues to carry traffic,” a Port Authority blog post states. “It will maintain the steel arch that makes the Bayonne Bridge a civil engineering landmark, while giving drivers a safer, wider and more modern roadway with 12-foot lanes, new shoulders, a median divider, and a 12-foot bike and pedestrian walkway.”

When complete, the bridge will be elevated from 151 to 215 feet, Port Authority officials say.
