A custom-built barge has arrived at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, marking a milestone in the ferry-terminal project, according to a video shared by the New Jersey Department of Transportation on September 14.

The footage follows the barge’s journey from Newark and the work of crews guiding it into position. Project staff describe the planning and coordination involved in the move, including the role of tugboats, contractors and inspection teams.

Liberty State Park is New Jersey’s gateway for ferry trips to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The arrival documented in the video is a construction milestone; it does not by itself establish that the new facility has opened for passengers.
