This project consists of a grade separation and associated roadway improvements to provide four lanes of traffic and a connector between Monte Vista Avenue and State Street. The grade separation will elevate Monte Vista Avenue over three sets of UPRR tracks and State Street. The existing at-grade conflict between vehicular traffic and rail traffic will be removed, therefore reducing congestion and improving safety. The primary scope includes a 300’, 2-span, concrete wide flanged girder bridge with MSE retaining walls.

The new bridge was dedicated in honor of the late Paul Eaton who had served nearly four decades in public service to the City of Montclair. Plaques will be placed in the architectural pilasters at each end of the bridge in recognition of his dedication to his community.
