Trains Expected Normal After NJ River Bridge Fixed Train delays should be gone in time for rush hour commuters now that a New Jersey bridge that got stuck in the open position while allowing marine traffic to pass has been fixed. The Portal Bridge became stuck for nearly three hours Wednesday night, causing train service to be suspended. It was fixed shortly before midnight, but there were residual delays. Service should be normal now. The bridge was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad and opened in 1910. Replacement of the span is under way.
