In addition to the tunnel, the connector required building 16 bridges, 15 ramps, and 23 retaining walls, plus landscaping, drainage, and variable-message signs. It was also necessary to move public utility infrastructure, and demolish a sewer pumping station, portions of a power station and a warehouse. A promenade at Trump Marina was leveled to make way for new ramps, and 37 ornamental lampposts were dismantled and later shipped to the nearby Tuckerton Seaport, which opened in 2000. To avoid disruptions in the neighborhood, deliveries of construction materials took place by barge, and construction vehicles did not travel along any local streets. Over 1,800 workers were involved.
