LONG TERM CONSTRUCTION: NJDOT officials 5/15 announced a project to resurface more than six miles of Route 202 southbound from south of CR 514 (Old York Road) in East Amwell to the vicinity near Headquarters Road in Lambertville, Hunterdon County.
NJDOT’s contractor, Arawak Paving Inc., began preliminary construction activities including site mobilization and sign installation last week and initial milling operations began earlier this week near the Route 31 interchange in East Amwell.
The $2.6 million project will mill and resurface Route 202 southbound with a new surface course of asphalt pavement from milepost 6.8 in East Amwell through West Amwell to milepost 0.4 in Lambertville. This concentrated effort to repair the deficient roadway will improve motorist safety and extend the pavement lifespan along the full width of the roadway at each location, including all travel lanes, turn lanes and shoulders. The project also includes concrete surface repairs to the bridge structures over CR 605/Alexauken Creek in West Amwell and over Route 179 in East Amwell.
Construction will be performed during overnight and off-peak hours in order to minimize traffic impacts on Route 202, a major commuter route carrying an average of over 14,600 vehicles through this stretch each day. The project, which was designed in-house by NJDOT engineers, is scheduled for completion in early-fall 2013.
The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT’s traffic information website www.511nj.org real-time travel information.

I-78 eastbound approaching Toll Bridge - Phillipsburg 1 lane closed for roadwork until further notice. 

LONG TERM CONSTRUCTION: Bridge RQ-179 located on Stanton Station Road in Raritan and Readington Townships will be closing on or about Monday, May 13, 2013. Bridge RQ-179 is 1/10 of a mile from Lilac Dr. and 5/10 of a mile from Old Clinton Road. Bridge RQ-179 will be closed for approximately 6.5 to 7 months, it is being rehabilitated.

A detour will be posted.

I-78 TOLL BRIDGE PAVING PROJECT LANE CLOSURES WEEK OF MAY 5
Single-lane travel restrictions will be imposed along both directions of I-78 in extreme eastern Pennsylvania during off-peak periods -- from the Morgan Hill Road Interchange/Exit 75 to the I-78 Toll Bridge.
Weekday Overnights Eastbound May 6-9 -- Single-lane patterns in effect Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (into early Friday) from 3 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Weekday Overnights Westbound May 6-9 -- Single-lane patterns in effect Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (into early Friday) from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m.

(Uninterrupted 39-hour weekend single-lane travel patterns are not scheduled to be employed again in either direction of I-78 going forward. However, as noted above, single-lane patterns will be in effect during extended overnight periods when traffic is lightest.
Note: The travel restrictions are subject to change due to weather and emergencies. Motorists are asked to reduce their speed and use caution when travelling through active work zones. Delays are possible at any time these single-lane patterns are in effect.

The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission is urging job commuters
in the Lehigh Valley/Warren County region to plan ahead and get E-ZPass so they can reduce driving times when using route 78 as a travel alternative after the Easton-Phillipsburg (Route 22) Toll Bridge is reduced to single lanes in each direction for a rehabilitation project next month.

To assist area residents and commuters in acquiring E-ZPass accounts in advance of the
advancing bridge project, the Commission will conduct an E-ZPass QuickStart sign-up
session from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 8, at the Pennsylvania Welcome Center adjacent to the Commission’s toll plaza on I-78 westbound in Williams Township.

Motorists seeking E-ZPass accounts should keep right after crossing the I-78 Toll Bridge and take the exit ramp immediately after the Commission’s toll plaza to access the I-78 Welcome Center. Vehicles that use the Express E-ZPass lanes on the left cannot access the Welcome Center.

QuickStart events offer an expedited application process, enabling commuters to sign up for E-ZPass and drive away with an active tag and a $25 account balance in less than 10 minutes. The Commission charges a $1 monthly E-ZPass account fee, and up to four transponders can be registered to a single account. Customers must bring their vehicle registration cards, drivers licenses, and a major credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover).

The Commission is urging area residents and job commuters to use I-78 as a travel alternative once a multi-faceted rehabilitation project gets underway at the Easton-Phillipsburg (Route 22) Toll Bridge during June. The project is going to require single-lane travel in each direction on the bridge for six months in 2013 and nine months in 2014. The lane restrictions are likely to cause significant traffic congestion and delays, especially during peak travel periods.

LONG TERM CONSTRUCTION: On Friday May 3, 2013, NJDOT will begin the next phase of short term improvements to Rt 22. The work will include drainage, curbing and resurfacing the east bound lanes from mile marker 33.75 to 34.07 which is between the NJ State Police Barracks and the Mountain Ave (Somerville) entrance. Rt 22 eastbound will be reduced to one lane for the duration of the project which is estimated to be 50 days. There will be both nighttime and daytime work being done and the lane closures will be maintained 24 hours a day until the project is complete.

LONG TERM CONSTRUCTION: 4/15/13 - Bridge D-300 located on Raven Rock-Rosemont Road over the Lockatong Creek in Delaware Township will be CLOSED for rehabilitation on or about April 15, 2013 for approximately 8.5 months. The bridge is located .35 mile east of Federal Twist Road. A detour will be posted.

LONG TERM CONSTRUCTION: 2nd Stage Rt 31 Bridge Reconstruction Project - Hampton: Rt 31 traffic shift both lanes of Route 31 traffic onto the newly reconstructed northbound side of the bridge and begin reconstruction of the southbound half of the structure.

NJDOT has scheduled the bridge work in stages so that one travel lane on Route 31 in both directions will remain open to traffic during peak periods.  Periodic single-lane closures will be necessary on the bridge with alternating traffic patterns in place during overnight and off-peak hours. 

Estimated completion: Fall 2013
 

LONG TERM CONSTRUCTION:  Cokesbury Road Bridge over I-78 Project continues with 1 lane open in each direction. Ramp from Cokesbury Road southbound to I-78 eastbound will be closed. Traffic will be shifted.  Estimated completion time June 2013.
