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.
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.
Please see a summary of each NJDEP RBD site, along with anticipated work activities, traffic impacts, and traffic/pedestrian management for each week here:
RESIST – SOUTH:
Marin Boulevard
The NJDEP has also announced 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

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.
Beginning Monday, Oct. 20, contractors will begin repairs to a portion of Fourth Street, damaged during a water main break last month. The construction will require the closure of Fourth Street, from Madison to Jefferson Street, during work hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The road will reopen during non-working hours.
Vehicles will detour from Jefferson Street, onto Second Street, around the construction area, and back onto Fourth Street at Madison Street. Signs will be posted in advance of the closure, and Hoboken Police will be on site to assist with traffic control and pedestrian safety.
This project, which includes curb, sidewalk, and asphalt repair, as well as paving and stripping, is anticipated to last approximately two weeks.
The following work and traffic impacts/management are anticipated for the weeks of Oct. 20 and Oct. 27, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.:
