The
purpose of this project is to improve local and regional
safety and to enable traffic to flow freely on Routes
1 and 130. The
roadways are heavily traveled regional routes used by
more than 130,000 motorists each day.
NJDOT
will remove the previously modified traffic circle and
the existing traffic signal on Routes 1 and 130 and
replace it with a flyover that directly connects Route
1 southbound to Route 130 southbound and Route 130 Northbound
to Route 1 northbound.
We
will build four bridges, a noise wall and retaining
walls, widen the road, grade, pave, improve drainage
and lighting and relocate utilities. This $83 million
project spans one mile on Route 1, 1.3 miles on Route
130 and a quarter of a mile on Georges Road (Route 171).
The
18-month contract contains a $1.7 million incentive
to finish six months earlier. All efforts will be made
to curtail the length of this contract and alleviate
construction impacts on motorists, local residents and
local businesses.
