OCTOBER 14 UPDATE ON SINATRA DRIVE NORTH COLLAPSE
As requested by the City of Hoboken, Hudson County is taking additional measures to prepare the collapsed area of Sinatra Drive North for the upcoming storm.
The County has brought in equipment and broken up the concrete and pavement that had fallen into the hole. The material has been moved inland against the bank to stabilize the soil and protect it from tidal action.
The County has also placed tarps and sandbags over the area to further protect the soil from erosion in anticipation of the predicted storm.
In coordination with the Police Department, the City has placed additional orange snow fencing to keep pedestrians from entering the area.
Two engineering companies are inspecting the site and preparing engineering proposals for the County. The County will select the engineer to prepare construction drawings which will be provided to several contractors for pricing.
