The Rebuild by Design - Hudson River Project is a comprehensive urban stormwater management program that takes a multi-faceted approach intended to address flooding from both major storm surge and high tide as well as from heavy rainfall events. These events often occur individually, but can also occur together, increasing their impacts. The program includes four components: Resist, Delay, Store and Discharge.
The NJDEP is implementing the Resist component of the project concept, while the City of Hoboken has and continues to lead efforts implementing the Delay, Store and Discharge Components. This portion of construction is Phase II of the Resist component. Phase I included implementation of Sewer System Modifications (SSM) and completed in July 2022. Phase II will include the construction of the Resist Alignment, a floodwall and levee system aimed to protect the Project Area from coastal flooding threats associated with storm surge. Construction for Phase II is beginning with the current test pitting work being described above.
This United States Department of Housing and Urban Development is funding the project, allocating $230 million to the overall Rebuild by Design Hudson River Project. Additional funding has been allocated to this project through the FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities grant program and through an American Rescue Plan Covid State Fiscal Recovery Funding allocation.

The Waterfront Reconstruction Project
The Waterfront Reconstruction Project (formerly known as the Sinatra Drive Seawall Rehabilitation Project) will replace the aging and eroding concrete seawall beneath portions of Sinatra Drive and the Hoboken waterfront walkway. The project focuses on stabilizing and replacing the seawall and walkway along the eastern portion of Sinatra Drive, from the gazebo near Seventh Street to the skate park near Ninth Street, where erosion is most severe. This initiative is part of a larger effort to ensure the safety and longevity of the waterfront infrastructure.
During the Waterfront Reconstruction Project, the eastern lane of Sinatra Drive from approximately Fifth Street north to approximately Sinatra Drive North will be closed 24/7. No southbound traffic will be permitted. Southbound drivers must use Hudson Street. The western lane of Sinatra Drive will be open to northbound vehicles.
On Tuesday, April 21, Sinatra Drive will be closed to all vehicular traffic between the hours of 10 a.m. and 12 p.m., to accomodate the delivery of light poles.
The Hudson River Waterfront Walkway and a new multi use path will remain open to pedestrians and bicyclists: https://www.hobokennj.gov/news/city-of-hoboken-reopens-hudson-river-waterfront-walkway-and-new-multi-use-path-ahead-of-spring
