road construction

New Jersey's top transportation official said there's a host of reasons why the state is spending more money on its road system than other states spend on their state-controlled road systems.

As the first phase of a major Garden State Parkway widening project nears completion through Ocean County, concerns are being raised about a roadway that runs parallel.

If you travel the Garden State Parkway ramp at Exit 105, you've probably ended up in a bottleneck. That may soon be changing thanks to an ambitious plan from the New Jersey Turnpike Authority.

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority's shoulder widening project is in full swing, but it should not damper shore tourism come summer time.

So far the sequester budget cuts in Washington have not adversely affected federal transportation funding for New Jersey, but no one is sure what will happen in the coming weeks and months.

Those annoying road construction slowdowns and jams that "Fast Traffic" is always telling you about may not be the fault of the NJ DOT.

Construction on the 12.5 mile stretch of Route 35 through Ocean County will be done with every effort to not inconvenience drivers too much.  But Joe Dee, spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Transportation reminds drivers this won't be a "normal summer."

Overnight construction on the Garden State Parkway is expected to cause detours on Route 571 all this week.
