Biden Administration Releases Roadmap For Developing Zero Emissions Freight Corridors
Transport Topics reports, President Biden’s Joint Office of Energy and Transportation has released a 300-page “National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy” to guide public agencies and P3s in building out infrastructure for medium and heavy trucks. The document envisions a network of stations for both EV charging and hydrogen fueling that support efforts to reduce emissions by 2040. The plan also designates specific corridors for prioritization, including highways serving ports in greater New York City, Southern California, Miami and Houston, as well as segments of Interstates 80, 95, 10 and 5. Trucking groups, which have expressed concern about the lack of electric charging infrastructure, welcomed the strategy’s introduction.

The New York Thruway Authority announced that “work to remove and replace the superstructure of the 222nd Street pedestrian bridge over the northbound lanes of the New England Thruway (I-95) in the Bronx will require overnight lane closures and traffic stops in the northbound direction [today], March 15, and Saturday, March 16, weather permitting.” The authority will provide free pedestrian shuttle service until the span is restored. The work is part of a $61.8 million pavement improvement project under contract to Restani Construction Corporation. Similar closures are anticipated next weekend for the removal and replacement of the Dyre Avenue pedestrian bridge.
