Commuting

The morning commute here in New Jersey can seem like it takes an eternity, but recent data suggests it's not as bad as you might think.

It's been over a year now since they opened the new Forked River rest area on the Garden State Parkway. The rest stop is located at mile marker 74. The rest stop is beautiful but in my opinion, it needs some added attractions.

Here are the worst things you've said when driving down the annoying and unavoidable road that is Route 9.

Let me continue by saying this is not a “complaint” article it’s a “suggestion” article. In this case I’m referring to the new rest area located on the Garden State Parkway at mile marker 74. It’s new it’s clean and it’s a great addition for commuters in Ocean County on the Parkway. But with that said I just want to add a recommendation.

A new report projects startling consequences for commutes, home values and more if the Hudson River rail tunnel is closed for repairs before new one is built.

According to the New Jersey Turnpike Authority .... due to weekend construction in Monmouth County, only one lane will be open on the northbound Garden State Parkway local lanes north of Exit 109 (Middletown) from 10 a.m., Friday, April 27th through 5 a.m., Monday, April 30th.

After all the talk about seizing land in Manhattan or relocating to New Jersey, the current Port Authority Bus Terminal might be expanded and rebuilt.

With the massive amount of roadwork that's been going on in Brick around the Parkway Exit 91 interchange, another new traffic pattern is in effect today, with more to follow this week.

In the ongoing saga of Parkway Exit 91 B-A in Brick, there is some confusion about exactly what you can and can't do at this very moment. So here's a quick rundown of where things stand as of this writing (May 22nd).

A week and a half ago, we brought the news that the long awaited Exit 91 B-A in Brick was scheduled to open. Thankfully, this delay was only a couple of days, and the revised opening date looks ready to go.
