The permit applicant, the Burlington County Bridge Commission, has requested Department of the Army authorization to replace submarine cables within the footprint of the Delaware River’s Philadelphia to Trenton Federal Navigation Channel between Pier “E” and Pier “F” at the bascule span of the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge in the Borough of Palmyra, Burlington County, New Jersey. The stated purpose of the project is to replace existing submarine cables which are approaching their end-of-service life, as well as upgrade information technology and communications infrastructure for devices installed on the bridge.
