The New Jersey Turnpike Authority, the parkway’s operating agency, is rebuilding the tightly spaced Exits 36, 37 and 38 in Egg Harbor Township to ease congestion and improve safety. The flyover is at the heart of that plan. It will separate traffic that ventures too close at Exits 37 and 38.
The whirlwind of constuction is
the latest phase of a $900 million parkway widening project that will
add a third lane in each direction on a 45-mile stretch between Toms
River in Ocean County to Egg Harbor Township in Atlantic County.
The widening project is so large
that construction crews are building different segments as they move
south on the parkway — accompanied by an army of earthmovers,
excavators, cranes and dump trucks.
Motorists had better get used to
the orange “Roadwork ahead” warning signs because construction of the
$84 million phase in Egg Harbor Township, between mileposts 38 and 34.5,
is scheduled to continue until August 2018. Aug. 29, 2018, to be exact.Entire article at
