What's your quick estimate on the cost to repair/replace the DB Drawbridge over the Hackensack River and where would the money come from?

The pentagon budget for this year is $820 billion. There is no shortage of money.

Actually you don't have to use that Bridge as you could just simple use one of the Abandoned lines that branch off before the bridge and connect into the Morristown line.

There's an old right-of-way that bypasses the Drawbridge that originally connected with the pre-Hoboken lines to Exchange place, but could now plausibly connect up with the Morris & Essex line just West of the Lower Hack lift. Granted it runs right through a superfund site
