Weehawken Port Imperial
Encyclopedia
Weehawken Port Imperial is an intermodal
transit hub on the Weehawken, New Jersey
waterfront of the Hudson River across from Midtown Manhattan
served by New York Waterway ferries and buses
, Hudson Bergen Light Rail, and NJT buses
. The district lies under and at the foot of Pershing Road, a thoroughfare which travels along the face of the Hudson Palisades, which rise to its west. The Hudson River Waterfront Walkway
runs along the shoreline and is abutted by recently constructed residential neighborboods, Lincoln Harbor
to the south and Bulls Ferry
to the north.
waterfront is located north of Weehawken Cove on a long narrow strip of land between the Hudson River and Hudson Palisades. On April 18, 1670 the government of the Province of New Jersey
confirmed a grant to Maryn Adriaensen for a parcel of land called Wiehacken in the jurisdiction of Bergen on Hobooken Creek, 50 morgen Dutch measure originally given on May 11, 1647. Sporadic ferry service began and in 1700 a royal patent was given by Richard Coote, 1st Earl of Bellomont
which led to the naming of Weehawken Street
at the landing across the river in today's West Village
. Later called Slough's Meadow, the waterfront has in the last centuries been transformed from an tidal marsh
to an extensive rail and shipping port and, since the 1980s, redeveloped for commercial, residential, recreational, and transportation uses. Many duels, including the nation's most famous between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burrin 1804, took place on a site later obliterated by rail infrastructure of the New York Central Railroad
's West Shore Railroad
and the Erie Railroad
Erie's Pier D and Piershed is a remnant of the rail era listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places
in 1984. The turn of the century
saw the growth of the railyards, carfloats, ferry slip
s, and passenger station
of Weehawken Terminal
. The main ferry ran to 42nd Street
and for short time was a component of the transcontinental Lincoln Highway
. The highway and the trolleys of North Hudson County Railway
and later the Public Service Railway
ascended Pershing Road. The Weehawken was the last ferry to the West Shore Terminal
on March 25, 1959 at 1:10 am. and train service was discontinued. The right of way (originally part of the NYC's New Jersey Junction Railroad
) was layer used by the Penn Central River Division and the Conrail River Line
before being abandoned. The United Fruit Company
once maintained the largest banana warehouse in the United States
adjacent to its berth
s. As with much of the traditional harbor of the Port of New York and New Jersey
, the infrastructure became obsolete as passenger and freight transport patterns changed.
, trucking magnate
, purchased a 2.5 miles (4 km) length of the Weehawken Yard
from the bankrupt Penn Central for $7.5 million, his surname an inspiration for Port Imperial. New York Waterway was established in 1986. Service was originally provided from an converted ferry moored at the shore next to the marina south of the current terminal. NJT
contracted the extensive renovation and waterproofing of the Weehawken Tunnel
under Bergen Hill
which had been built in 1861. The new ferry terminal, built and owned by New Jersey Transit
and leased by NY Waterway
, opened in May 2006. The HBLR Station opened for weekend service in November 2005 and fulltime service on October 29, 2006.
The construction and maintenance of stairways from atop the cliffs at Boulevard East
to the station and the bridge from the station to the ferry slip
s have been a source of contention and controversy. The area, still under development, is considered to be too oriented to automobiles, rather than pedestrians. While there has been some integration in the wider public transportation system, some transportation is geared within the development site, including parking lots.
In 2009, New York Waterway was instrumental in the rescue of passengers on US Airways Flight 1549
, which made an emergency landing on the Hudson River near Port Imperial.
A memorial to 9/11 will be unveiled on the event's 10th anniversary.
In October 2011, the hub was announced as the site of the Port Imperial Street Circuit
, a motorsport
venue hosting the Grand Prix of America
, a round of the Formula One World Championship
. The start-finish line and pit facilities will be directly opposite the ferry terminal, and the area will be redeveloped for the race.
