more about our town…
This is what we pass each day!
Big equipment and materials needed to build an overpass
to reduce traffic congestion is positioned as construction progresses
where two heavily traveled roads intersect.

The circle is being eliminated and work is continuing in this much needed project.
Even during this massive project, traffic delays seem to be at a minimum.
Even during this massive project, traffic delays seem to be at a minimum.
With travel delays between 7 to 10 minutes through the circle and this being the #2 site for total accidents in the entire state, and a projected 110,000 vehicles per day traveling through the intersection, there is a need to improve operating conditions at the Route 70 and Route 73 intersection.
The project is currently in the early stages of construction.. Construction is scheduled for completion by the Fall/Winter of 2011.

Oh I remember those famous "circles" in NJ! What were they thinking when they designed them? I remember my father driving through them and he would get confused and say it was a silly way to have a traffic pattern. And I agree! Hope it gets done sooner than they're predicting!

wow what a difference that will be when it's completed. Now why didn't they just think of that plan when they first did it 🙂

Oh boy! I sure can relate to those views. We have a lot of construction going on around here and in the areas I have to travel. Some of the projects will not be completed until 2014!
Unbelievable!
