NJDOT announces I-78
rehabilitation in Greenwich Township
(Trenton) — The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) today announced the start of a concrete roadway rehabilitation on I-78 eastbound in Greenwich Township, Warren County.
“This $3.4 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act rehabilitation project is providing essential infrastructure improvements to I-78 while stimulating economic investment and job creation,” said Governor Jon S. Corzine.
On Monday, September 14, NJDOT will begin reconstructing I-78 eastbound from milepost 4.16 to milepost 4.83, as well as the Route 22 eastbound ramps to I-78 in Greenwich Township. Initial resurfacing work will begin on the I-78 eastbound right shoulder.
Then, on Friday September 18, NJDOT will close the left lane and shoulder on I-78 eastbound for the length of the project to begin reconstruction of the pavement. I-78 eastbound will be reduced from three travel lanes to two, and will be shifted over to the right. The ramp from Route 22 eastbound to I-78 westbound will maintain two travel lanes during construction.
Single lane closures will be allowed on I-78 eastbound Monday to Friday 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next day, Saturday 12 midnight to 6 a.m. the next day and Sunday 12 midnight to 5 a.m. the next day.
Variable message signs will notify motorists on I-78 of any upcoming traffic pattern changes. NJDOT provides emergency roadway information, construction schedule updates and real time traffic information and images at .
ARRA will stimulate New Jersey's economy by creating or supporting thousands of transportation-related jobs and making long-term improvements to roads, bridges and the transit system. New Jersey's transportation allocation includes $652 million for highways and bridges and approximately $425 million for transit. That total includes approximately $164 million for county and local transportation priorities and approximately $19.5 million for transportation enhancement projects.
