The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) is continuing the construction phase for the Rebuild By Design Hudson River Project – Resist Alignment Coastal Defense Contract. The Resist structure is a floodwall and levee system aimed to protect the Project Area from coastal flooding threats associated with storm surge.
No work site is anticipated to be active on Jan 1, 2026.
The project team will be engaging in the following activities during the weeks of Dec, 29, 2025, and Jan. 5, 2026.
RESIST – SOUTH:
Marin Boulevard
The NJDEP has has commenced the full closure of Marin Boulevard between Observer Highway and 18th Street, to further construction on the Resist-South structure. During this phase of construction, the NJDEP will relocate underground utilities and install the foundation for the deployable floodgate. Traffic mitigation plans have been implemented, and Hoboken and Jersey City Police Officers are on site during work hours to assist with traffic control and pedestrian safety. Please see more about this closure and the traffic mitigation measures now in place here: https://local.nixle.com/alert/11877321/?sub_id=0
Construction activities on the Resist-South project include:
The NJDEP has temporarily reopened 15th Street to vehicular traffic, due to the discovery of unforeseen subsurface conditions along 15th Street which will require additional utility coordination, design updates, and procurement of materials. The NJDEP anticipates returning to 15th Street to close the road and complete this phase of construction this winter.

The Rebuild by Design - Hudson River Project is a comprehensive urban stormwater management program that takes a multi-faceted approach intended to address flooding from both major storm surge and high tide as well as from heavy rainfall events. These events often occur individually, but can also occur together, increasing their impacts. The program includes four components: Resist, Delay, Store and Discharge.
The NJDEP is implementing the Resist component of the project concept, while the City of Hoboken has and continues to lead efforts implementing the Delay, Store and Discharge Components. This portion of construction is Phase II of the Resist component. Phase I included implementation of Sewer System Modifications (SSM) and completed in July 2022. Phase II will include the construction of the Resist Alignment, a floodwall and levee system aimed to protect the Project Area from coastal flooding threats associated with storm surge. Construction for Phase II is beginning with the current test pitting work being described above.
This United States Department of Housing and Urban Development is funding the project, allocating $230 million to the overall Rebuild by Design Hudson River Project. Additional funding has been allocated to this project through the FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities grant program and through an American Rescue Plan Covid State Fiscal Recovery Funding allocation.

The Madison Street Area Infrastructure Improvements project will help mitigate localized flooding from rain events. The project scope includes replacing existing inlets, sewers, and water lines as well as elevating roadways, curbs, and sidewalks within the area. These improvements will alleviate the primary concerns by conveying stormwater into the sewer system. Once completed, the project will help mitigate rainfall flooding and upgrade critical underground infrastructure on Madison Street between Ninth and 11th Streets. This project will require road closures in the area. Area residents will be kept apprised of the work and impacts on their quality of life.
This project has been completed. Permanent paving will commence in the spring.
Underground Utilities Corporation will be installing new sewer lines, and curb inlets will be installed to alleviate drainage and potential flooding issues in Northwest Hoboken. The goal of this project is to reduce combined sewer overflows (CSO’s) and improve the water quality of the Hudson River.

The Waterfront Reconstruction Project (formerly known as the Sinatra Drive Seawall Rehabilitation Project) will replace the aging and eroding concrete seawall beneath portions of Sinatra Drive and the Hoboken waterfront walkway. The project focuses on stabilizing and replacing the seawall and walkway along the eastern portion of Sinatra Drive, from the gazebo near Seventh Street to the skate park near Ninth Street, where erosion is most severe. This initiative is part of a larger effort to ensure the safety and longevity of the waterfront infrastructure.
During the Waterfront Reconstruction Project, the eastern lane of Sinatra Drive from approximately Fifth Street north to approximately Sinatra Drive North will be closed 24/7. No southbound traffic will be permitted. Southbound drivers must use Hudson Street. The western lane of Sinatra Drive will be open to northbound vehicles. The sidewalk on Sinatra Drive will be closed to pedestrians 24/7 in the construction area.
