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 City has begun spring and summer milling and paving projects. These projects will restore roadways impacted by recent infrastructure updates, including improvements to water mains and pressure valves, gas mains and pressure valves, and storm sewers to help reduce flooding.

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.
Permanent paving will take place the week of April 27. Please see "Milling and Paving Projects" above.
The Hoboken Yard Redevelopment Plan will revitalize southeastern sections of Hoboken, including the Hoboken Terminal and the area around it.

Construction on the first phase of Hoboken Connect, a 28-story residential building at 111 Observer Hwy, between Washington and Bloomfield Streets began in 2024. This project will require the temporary relocation of NJ Transit bus stops on both sides of Observer Highway between Washington and Bloomfield Streets to between Bloomfield and Garden Streets. Bike lanes will also temporarily be relocated from the south curbside of Observer Hwy between Bloomfield Street and Washington Street to the north curbside of the same block. The sidewalk and bike lanes along the south curbside of Observer Highway between Bloomfield Street and Washington Street will be closed to pedestrians and these changes are expected to be in place through approximately December of 2026. See below for construction activities and traffic management in place for 111 Observer Highway.
