POB Online Article "Mapping Pulaski Skyway"

HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. - July 8, 2013 - PRLog -- The Pulaski Skyway is a four-lane bridge-causeway in the northeastern part of New Jersey, carrying a freeway designated U.S. Route 1/9 (US 1/9) for most of its length. The landmark structure has a total length of about 3.5 miles; its longest span is 550 feet. Traveling between Newark and Jersey City, the Skyway rises high above the Meadowlands, reaching more than 135 feet above the Hackensack River, before it passes over an industrial area in Kearny on an elevated causeway. Then it rises 135 feet above the Passaic River and crosses the New Jersey Turnpike into Newark as it descends. Access ramps provide connections from the skyway and local streets in Jersey City, Kearny and Newark.

Parsons Brinkerhoff (PB) was appointed to provide design services to perform rehabilitation on the Pulaski Skyway while minimizing or mitigating delays due to congestion to commuters in the corridor and region. In order to achieve this goal, PB commissioned Robinson Aerial Surveys Inc., based in Hackettstown, N.J., to provide color digital aerial mapping photography, analytical triangulation and topographic mapping services in MicroStation V8 format.
