The
NY Metropolitan Transportation Council has removed the Goethals Bridge
twin from its list of "projects of regional significance" that is part
of the downstate NY region's air pollution reduction plan.
In its August, 1999 determination of transportation "conformity" with the NY state implementation plan for the Clean Air Act, NYMTC declared it had omitted the Goethals twin because the "project has not been authorized for construction by the PA pending further future review." The highway bridge project had been included in the official air quality analysis for much of the 1990s.
