Important Public Meeting Update
The Public Meeting for the Manhattan Avenue Retain Wall Project scheduled for July 7th, 2026 has been postponed, due to unforeseen circumstances. A new date will be scheduled and communicated to the public shortly. Apologies for any inconvenience or confusion.
Welcome to the Manhattan Avenue Wall Local Preliminary Engineering (LPE) Phase.
Hudson County, in conjunction with the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) and the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), is refining the preliminary preferred alternative for improving and rehabilitating the retaining wall and roadway along Manhattan Avenue (CR 683) in Union City which was selected during the Concept Development Study with the assistance of the public.
The stone masonry retaining wall, and a short section of concrete retaining wall, stretches nearly 2,800 feet, and the wall ranges from 1 foot to approximately 40 feet in height. The stone masonry wall along the west side of Manhattan Avenue was constructed circa 1912 to 1914 and many sections of the wall are in need of repair, reconstruction, or remediation to meet acceptable structural and stability requirements.
Community involvement is a vital part of this project, and we encourage the public to continue to participate and provide input on this project.
