The heavily traveled former southbound Parkway exit 88 onto Route 70 in Lakewood has been eliminated as part of the $330 million dollar highway improvement project calling for additional lanes, shoulder widening and full interchanges from southern Monmouth to Ocean Counties.

According to NJ.com, signs along the highway will tell drivers to use exit 89 instead. The exit puts you onto Airport Road that will take you to Route 70 if you turn left or to Cedar Bridge Avenue in Lakewood if you turn right. New traffic signals have been placed on Airport Road to control the anticipated increase in vehicles entering and exiting the parkway in the township's industrial park area.

Drivers taking exit 89 will pay the same .50 cent toll.
