Simpson, commissioner of New Jersey's Department of Transportation, stands on a lift near rusted through webbing of a I-beam under the road surface of the Pulaski Skyway Monday, April 7, 2014, in Jersey City, N.J. The countdown is starting in earnest for the closure of the Pulaski Skyway through Jersey City.

The project will require the closure of northbound lanes that feed into Jersey City and the Holland Tunnel. The DOT estimates about 40,000 vehicles use the inbound span each day, including about 10,000 during the morning commute. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
