<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Planning_for_a_new_bridge">Planning for a new bridge</h2></div>
<p>Starting in 1985, the Port Authority looked at 27 different alternatives to add capacity between Staten Island and New Jersey. By 1990, senior executives decided that the best way to accommodate growth was to build a new span, parallel to the existing Goethals Bridge. In October 1997, the Port Authority issued a final <a href="Environmental_impact_statement" title="Environmental impact statement">environmental impact statement</a>, but by that time Staten Island officials had lined up against the project, citing the potential for increased traffic through their borough.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>A Port Authority study initiated in 2001 suggested that the optimal solution was an entirely new span.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The choosing of a full replacement option was followed by the submittal of several design alternatives, alongside a "no build" option. The new bridge design, upon the completion of the westbound span, also included additional lanes of traffic, high-speed <a href="E-ZPass" title="E-ZPass">E-ZPass</a> lanes, and a reconstruction and widening of <a href="Interstate_278" title="Interstate 278">Interstate 278</a> from exit 4 in <a href="New_York_(state)" title="New York (state)">New York</a> (<a href="New_York_State_Route_440" title="New York State Route 440">NY 440</a> south) to <a href="New_Jersey_Route_439" title="New Jersey Route 439">Route 439</a> in New Jersey. The span was demolished starting in January 2018, after the opening of the replacement bridges.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="New_bridge">New bridge</h2></div>
<p>The initial alternatives put forth in mid-2006 included the option of twin three-lane replacement bridges north and south of the original alignment, which was eliminated; and twin three-lane replacement bridges (one south, and one along the original alignment), with the latter being built after the demolition of the original bridge, which was refined to be a single-span bridge instead of twin bridges. The twin-bridge alternative was dropped because of a height restriction set up by the <a href="FAA" class="mw-redirect" title="FAA">FAA</a> to prevent interferences with flights at <a href="Newark_Liberty_International_Airport" title="Newark Liberty International Airport">Newark Liberty International Airport</a>. The Goethals Bridge towers were not to exceed 272 feet in height and required to slant outwards because of aircraft flight patterns. This would also prevent ice from falling onto the roadway during winter months.<sup id="cite_ref-Engineering_News-Record_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Engineering_News-Record-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Public <a href="Open_house_(common_school_event)" class="mw-redirect" title="Open house (common school event)">open houses</a> were held in Staten Island and <a href="Elizabeth%2C_New_Jersey" title="Elizabeth, New Jersey">Elizabeth</a>, and the Draft <a href="Environmental_Impact_Statement" class="mw-redirect" title="Environmental Impact Statement">Environmental Impact Statement</a> (DEIS) was issued.

</p><p>All alternatives proposed that the bridge be single level, cable-stayed, double spans, separated by towers with a height of 135 feet (41 m) above the <a href="Ordinary_high_water_mark" class="mw-redirect" title="Ordinary high water mark">high-water mark</a> of the <a href="Arthur_Kill" title="Arthur Kill">Arthur Kill</a> shipping channel.

The westbound span features a new 10 ft (3.0 m) walkway for pedestrians and cyclists. In addition, permanent access roads would be built under the bridge on land for maintenance, security, and construction purposes.<sup id="cite_ref-fallnews_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-fallnews-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Lastly, space would be left in between the two bridges to accommodate potential mass-transit services.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:0_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For mass transit, studies indicated that a bus-only lane was not economically viable but that a <a href="High-occupancy_vehicle_lane" title="High-occupancy vehicle lane">high-occupancy vehicle lane</a> open to buses as well as high-occupancy autos would be appropriate during rush hours if traffic supported it. Provision for rail transit was rejected; however, planners decided that whatever alternative was constructed, the design and structural integrity should ideally be able to be retrofitted for such at a later date. The suggestion for a freight rail connection was dismissed as uneconomical.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<p>Also as part of the construction, improvements to approaches and nearby interchanges were made. These include the <a href="New_Jersey_Turnpike" title="New Jersey Turnpike">New Jersey Turnpike</a> exit 13 toll plaza, the Staten Island toll plaza, and the <a href="Interstate_278" title="Interstate 278">Interstate 278</a>/<a href="New_York_State_Route_440" title="New York State Route 440">NY 440</a> interchange.

New Jersey and New York–issued <a href="E-ZPass" title="E-ZPass">E-ZPass</a> users are charged $14.06 for cars and $13.06 for motorcycles during off-peak hours, and $16.06 for cars and $15.06 for motorcycles during peak hours.

</p><p>Tolls are only collected for eastbound traffic. Originally, tolls were collected in both directions. In August 1970, the toll was abolished for westbound drivers, and at the same time, eastbound drivers saw their tolls doubled. The tolls of eleven other New York–New Jersey and Hudson River crossings along a 130-mile (210 km) stretch, from the Outerbridge Crossing in the south to the <a href="Rip_Van_Winkle_Bridge" title="Rip Van Winkle Bridge">Rip Van Winkle Bridge</a> in the north, were also changed to south- or eastbound-only at that time.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p><a href="Open_road_tolling" title="Open road tolling">Open-road cashless tolling</a> began on September 4, 2019. The tollbooths were dismantled, and drivers are no longer able to pay cash at the bridge. Instead, there are cameras mounted onto new overhead gantries located on the Staten Island side. A vehicle without E-ZPass has a picture taken of its license plate and a bill for the toll is mailed to its owner. For E-ZPass users, sensors detect their transponders wirelessly.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
