A 2376 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DOT to publish information concerning vertical clearances of certain bridges overpassing certain waterways.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT) to create and maintain an online database showing the vertical clearance (distance from bridge bottom to water level) for all bridges carrying highways over navigable waterways. Municipalities and counties responsible for bridge inspections must submit clearance data to the DOT within 14 days after inspections, and the DOT must publish the database on its website within 60 days. The database must be updated within 14 days of receiving new clearance reports from local governments. This affects bridge inspectors and the public by making critical clearance information publicly accessible for safety and navigation purposes.
