Ocean, Monmouth Getting Parkway Safety, Exit Reconstruction Projects Worth $330 Million
Work includes widening shoulders from mile markers 83 to 99
Photos
The New Jersey Turnpike Authority's Board of Commissioners has approved construction contracts worth $330.3 million for a project that will restore full-width shoulders and make other safety improvements of a 16-mile stretch roadway in Ocean and Monmouth counties.
The project will start at mile marker 83.5 in Toms River and will run to mile marker 99.5. Construction will begin this fall and is scheduled to be completed in 2014.
“There is no better use for our capital dollars than projects like this one that make our roads safer,” Transportation Commissioner James Simpson said in a prepared statement. “When the project is complete, a section of the Parkway with narrow shoulders, narrow travel lanes and a history of accidents will be built to modern design and safety standards. Police, fire and EMS vehicles will be better able to access accident scenes.”
Simpson, who also serves as chairman of the Turnpike Authority Board of Commissioners, said the wider lanes will also give drivers who lose control of their vehicles more room to regain control without striking a tree or going down an embankment.
A 2007 highway safety assessment identified six high-priority areas on the Parkway; four of the areas are in the 16-mile project zone. Between 2000 and 2007, there were 9,000 accidents in the area, including 63 fatal accidents.
In response to the safety assessment, the speed limit was lowered from 65 to 55 mph, a series of interim safety measures was adopted and preliminary engineering on the shoulder-widening project was begun.
“It's great news the engineering and permitting are done and this important project is about to get underway,” Turnpike Authority Commissioner Ray Pocino said. “This project will create jobs and improve safety on the Parkway. It's a smart investment in New Jersey's future.”
The four construction contracts awarded for the project are as follows:
The George Harms Construction Co. Inc. of Howell was awarded a $84.3 million contract to restore the shoulders, reconstruct bridges and make other safety improvements between mile posts 83.5 and 88.5 in Toms River and Lakewood townships. The Harms bid was the lowest of seven submitted.
Midlantic Construction LLC of Barnegat was awarded a $75 million contract to restore the shoulders, reconstruct bridges and make other safety improvements between mileposts 90.5 and 93.5 in Lakewood and Brick townships. Midlantic submitted the lowest of five bids.
Northeast Remsco Construction Inc of Farmingdale was awarded a $100.1 million contract to restore the shoulders, reconstruct bridges and make other safety improvements between mileposts 93.5 and 99.5 in Brick and Wall townships. The company's bid was the lowest of six submitted.
Earle Asphalt Co. of Farmingdale was awarded a $70.1 million contract to restore the shoulders and make other safety improvements between mileposts 88.5 and 90.5 in Lakewood township and to build service roads and interchange ramps at interchange 88 and 89 to provide full access to and from the northbound and southbound Parkway from both interchanges. The company's bid was the lowest of eight submitted.
“Lives will be saved because of this project,” Simpson said.

Here is a link to the exit 91 plan - its a little easier to read - looks great to me! We have needed an entrance for the south bound lanes and an exit for the north bound lanes at 91 forever!

I don't know if all these projects are needed...
However, the FULL exchange at Rte. 70 and Cedar Bridge is sorely needed... it will alleviate a lot of traffic going up/down Rte. 9 or Old Freehold/New Hampshire just to get to Lakewood Industrial Park.
The Burnt Tavern I think is a waste...
The exchange near Brick Muni is a waste...
Adding an exchange at Church I think is a waste...

I think the Burnt Tavern/91 full interchange is also needed because the NJ Transit and Academy buses use this area. Also, the traffic backs up heavily when exiting the GSP Southbound/exit 91 during the afternoon rush.
JD

Mike,
If you look at the picture...
They are not doing anything to exit 91 southbound exit... it will still backup...
They are adding all sorts of on-ramps to get onto the parkway north or south...

If you live between Rt. 70 (exit 88) and Rt. 82 (Rt. 37) you know a southbound exit at Church Rd. or North Bay is long overdue. There nothing between those highways. (Exit 83 is only for northbound traffic.)
Traffic jams on the infamous Brick Blvd./Hooper Ave. merge could be alleviated if southbound cars had a way around it to get to Seaside. The county should extend Fischer Blvd. to the Parkway, and at least a southbound (if not a full) exit should be built.
Mike
7:05 pm on Friday, August 24, 2012
Wow JD you are correct. They must have changed that, they original plans they had released indicated that the drivers exiting GSP south exit 91 would end up on that Herborn Ave.
I believe one of the ramps they will be adding is exclusively for the NJ Transit buses, they will enter Dorado Plaza through the back of the lot once this is completed, unless that changes also.

Martin, your idea is perfect... it is what anyone who lives in Silverton or North of 37 in Toms River have been saying for years. Church Road interchange would be great, but may not be enough room to dump all the cars onto North Bay. Extending Fischer to the GSP is a no-brainer... majority of the property is the county's anyway (OCC). They could build that cheaply and quickly, and all the mess by Brick Blvd/Church Road/Yorktowne Blvd would be alleviated.

Extending Fischer to Church Rd (the OCC entrance at Church Rd).... is easy to do and will alleviate a lot of traffic at Church and Hooper.
A full exchange at Church will not solve the traffic problem at Church and Hooper...
Church and Hooper is a disaster regardless of the time of day you go through.
Timing lights would be helpful also.

Add southbound exit at Church/North Bay and extend Fischer Blvd. to it. We'll call it the Benny By-Pass in summer, but we locals will enjoy smooth commuting year-round.

All residents who would benefit from this should begin to attend county freeholder meetings. We need to demand they fix the traffic nightmares in the county, beginning with this project. If they cannot or will not do it, VOTE THEM OUT! Government is here to work for the people, we are their bosses. If they fail at their jobs, they are fired. Enough is enough, and widen Hooper Avenue to 3 lanes between 37 and Silverton.

To DaveL - I Agree 100% - Perhaps if the local drivers - yes most of the culprits are local - that shoot up the far right lane and then cut back into traffic just before the Yorktowne Signal would lose the "I'm more important than you" attitude and exercise some courtesy things could go more smoothly. I can accept the occasional "out of towner" getting caught up in the Right Turn Only lane I can't accept the blatant disregard for others by the locals (of which I am one). While I'm not a proponent of "red light" cameras and big brother tactics it may be good for all all of us if they either set up an officer to pull violators over and ticket them or install a divider to force the inconsiderate B**@*})'s to make the right onto Yorktowne and find their way back to Brick Blvd / Church Rd. Short of that cameras are the only way to go. The Freeholders really dropped the ball all those many years ago ......

"Extending Fischer to the GSP is a no-brainer... majority of the property is the county's anyway (OCC). They could build that cheaply and quickly, and all the mess by Brick Blvd/Church Road/Yorktowne Blvd would be alleviated."
Somebody who goes to the freeloader meetings, please suggest it... or don't the 25,000 people who live between Rt. 37 and Rt. 70 count for anything? If the politicians want our votes, they have to do something about this continuous year-round traffic jam.

That was me that passed you and jumped in just before Yorktowne. I'm not breaking any laws and will continue to do it until the day I quit driving. If you happen to notice the traffic is all backed up during the summer months. The months the bennies invade our roadways. And if you don't let me in I fly down Yorktowne onto Church and I'm still way ahead of the game.

I.M.H.O. it's more a problem with locals and the general lack of respect/courtesy they have for each other and themselves. Try doing the Beaverson Blvd. to Church Rd. and beyond stretch during the "off season" when the "bennies" aren't around. Trust me - you'll wish you were in a Abrams Tank so you could flatten and entomb them right on the spot. I have had days where a 10 minute trip from Lake Riviera in Brick to my home in Silverton took over 45 minutes. All because of the inconsiderate people who's lives and time are so much more important than yours or mine. I still contend that the Freeholders dropped the ball and created more of a traffic nightmare rather than alleviating the problem when they "Improved" the roadway many years ago......

The speed reduction zone from 98 to 80 and vice versa really worked! So well that It's laughable. The bottom line is that everyone is so much more important than the rest of us that they have total disregard for everyone else. Have you noticed the trends on the GSP and other highways/roads: 1. Never pass on the left: Make sure you bob and weave around traffic and in and out of lanes thus cutting off anyone whom you percieve to be in your way. 2. Never ever use the left (or high speed) lane until 1 -2 miles before you're ready to exit. Promptly move to the left when you see the 1 mile to exit sign, then when you are 500' from the ramp you are to slam on the brakes, cut across 3-4 lanes of traffic and get off of the highway. I'm so glad I don't have to drive to make my living anymore - once every 2 weeks for a 70mi round trip is enough for me .....

@ somuch to say - You're a prime example of what is wrong with this country. Hopefully, your self righteous sense of entitlement attitude will bite you in the behind one day but I can clearly see that you wouldn't learn anything anyway. But it seems to me that when you cross a solid line with the segmented line on the left of it which means that crossing from left to right but not right to left is permitted is a violation. Suffice to say - stay ahead of the game and take Yorktowne to Church because you're not getting in ahead of me without a struggle. Oh to be as important as you, I can only dream - It must be something to be a legend in your own mind .......

Sorry Ed, the problem is with the ecologists and environmentalists. I agree that we can't just go off willy-nilly and do whatever we want and put whatever we want wherever we want nature be damned. There is a delicate balance that needs to be met between man and nature. I have seen however, that nature adapts better to mans needs than man adapts to natures. What was the project that was held up for years and years because someone "thought" they saw an endangered pine snake. Bottom line - let's all work together and find a middle ground that will suit both man and nature. It really is possible .....

If WalMart can donate substitute wetlands in order to build on Rt. 37, why can't the politicians do the same to alleviate daily traffic jams with an extension of Fischer to North Bay and Church?
If politicians can add a runway at Miller Airpark in the (protected) Pine Barrens for their fly-boy campaign donors, why can't they do something for the 99% of us who drive to work?

Twenty odd comments tell me that none of you are directly impacted by the "widening project" in your daily lives outside of the time you spend in your moving vehicles. The NJTA will once again "thin" further the once dense buffer between "progress" and my front yard, with no concern, no sound barrier, no commitment for replanting, no commitment for road quieting macadem, no fear of angst from my elected State officials. We who live in close proximity to the GSP in the areas of the proposed widening have fought the good fight and apparently lost, but as long as drivers can get to the next traffic light in Brick faster, apparently that is what matters to my fellow Bricktonians.

Chu & so much to say,
The police do pull you over into the Yorktown parking lot and will give you a ticket. Trust I've witnessed this several times. You can't see the officers one is standing in the road and two others are in the lot or on the side street, and if you try to pull a fast one by trying to hop in front of someone they will direct you to pull over.

This Parkway shoulder restoration and improvement plan has been discussed and in the planning stages for almost three years. There have been numerous articles in the newspapers since September of 2009. I live in Wall Township and have attended two public meetings in Brick Township conducted by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. The most recent was held on March 15th, 2012 held at the Brick Township Civic Plaza on Chambers Bridge Road. There was a public notice and a newspaper article informing anyone who was interested in this project to attend and see what was planned first hand. There was opportunity to state your views and objections. A detailed map was on view to see the actual plan in detail. Complaining now is too late.

Thank you for your comment Gale, I attended both meetings, spoke on behalf of 26 of my neighbors who signed a petition that previously was sent to the NJTA and to our then State Senator's office, sorry we did not get to meet at either meeting. I have read all the press on the issue, corresponsed with the Editor of the Patch who gratiously covered the story, responded to the intial letter I and all contiguous property owners entitled to notice received when this project was in its early planning stages, so I and my neighbors have stated our views and objections. I assume you don't live contiguous to the planned widening project locations, or if you do, its never to late to stop the noise. If you don't live within close proximity, you are not affected so your comment is understandablel

Gale, I was remiss in not also mentioning that John Ducci, newly elected to the Brick Council , you may recall from your seat in the audience, also spoke at one of the public meetings at my request, thank you again John for your voice. He specifically mentioned my street and my neighbors and another of my neighbors spoke and submitted pictures she took from her back door in the Summer of last year when the remaining tree buffer is at its fullest, that still allowed her to read the signage clearly on vehicles speeding down the GSP within a short distance of her property line. She and I and others have lived on this street for more years then we care to admit, so we fondly remember not seeing the GSP, as the now desimated forest concealed the noise and the view of the traffic and sheilded us from the exhausts and the disabled motorists knocking on our back doors to use our telephones. Just thought you would like to know what we have done and why it remains on our radar, even if those not so directly affected smay hare your view that it "is too late", a perhaps reasonable positon due to lack of personal impact, but disheartening non the less.

According to the minutes I read from that meeting, after everyone made their objections known, they Highway Authority informed everyone that because they are putting in special pavement which cuts the decibel level (albeit slightly) and; because they are not adding in a lane, but merely putting the shoulder back in, it does not qualify for a barrier wall. What they didn't say was that they did add a lane a few years back by using the shoulder. Putting the shoulder back in, after the fact, does not mean that a lane wasn't added in. See what it means for Evergreen Woods Condo Community who have tried to get some kind of noise mitigation 2 1/2 years before this happened and have been denied. https://www.facebook.com/SoundBarrierWallForEvergreen?ref=hl

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority's Board of Commissioners has added several exits and entrance ramps already to aliviate traffic problems. It's my opiniun that the additions are helpful. But sadly they can add as many ramps as they want but that won't change the fact that many of the people using the GSP just can't drive and refuse to stay right when not passing, they talk on the cell phone and text while driving and plainly have no clue of whats going on around them. These folks are the main cause of the problem. I have 30 yrs experience driving the GSP and do just fine as long as I can get around these folks driving in La La land. The ones on the phone who realize at the last second their exit is coming up and they pull the 3 lane change across heavy traffic cause their not pauing attention. These added projects will help the compident drivers, the rest of the knuckle heads will still be a danger to us all. At 55mph 0r 75 mph. They should all stay home or take a bus !!!

Margie, I wasn't referring to your comment, but to the ranting and ravings of some of the opinions about crazy drivers and the need for additional ramps and traffic on roads near the parkway which are dangerous. The Parkway is my neighbor. I live right next to the Parkway near exit 98 and have lived next to the Parkway for more than 38 years. I just wanted to make the point that meetings were held and if people want to complain, they should do what You, your neighbors and I did before the actual project is set to be held. I actually wrote letters to the editor opposing clear-cutting when I observed the widening project south between exits 80 and 62. I, also, wrote letters to the DEP about the possible disturbance to vital water sheds in my area. Your comment was right on topic. Most of the others were not. I am sorry if I offended you with my comment. I understand what you are facing.

Sorry Margie, Since I live in Monmouth County, I rarely follow what is happening with the Ocean County Freeholders. If the situation becomes too intolerable, maybe you and your neighbors should fight for sound barriers. I don't really know if this is an option. I'm sitting not far from an exit ramp and am trying to keep informed.

Good luck to you Gale, we have been contacting anyone who will listen but to date,NJTA has made no commitment to elevate property owner's rights to the quiet and safe enjoyment of their residences to a place of importance, some lip service so far, but nothing to reliable. No one has the financial means to mount any real fight or to even explore if there is a fight to be won, we were not even noticed when a so called sound study was allegedly done for our area that of course indicates that the noise level that wakes you from a sound sleep at 3am when the motorcyclists roar up GSP North, is within normal acceptable limits. If I hear anything positive for all of us including those in Monmouth and south of me in Toms River, I will let you and The Patch readers know.

Hi Margie my property backs to the Parkway in Brick exit 91,they are in my back yard.I attended the few meetings they had and asked about them purchasing properties on the road since they would be soooo close their response was they could come up to 10 foot of my house if they so desired.Then I asked about sound walls since the sound level came in so high they responded it wouldn't be cost effective for the amount of houses it would benefit.I don't think they care too much for the property owners in the surrounding area.

I live within 500 feet of parkway. The center median trees have been cut away. It sounds like a raceway and my bedroom faces the traffic. My house shakes when large trucks go by. It use to be that traffic died down, but now there are north and southbound lanes of 24/7 traffic. They refuse to do anything for us either. I asked who they were accountable to, and they said no one. They have complete carte blanche and no one can stop them. It's disgusting. We have a lawyer fighting for the past 2 1/2 yrs before project began. We have had no luck getting a wall. Although one of the OC engineers informed me that Cherry Wood Farms in brick is getting something done for them.

Hi Michele, can you share with me what you are doing to keep up the need for sound and sight barriers, as I posted the replanting has been approved but not at milepost 91 where I am . Look into it and where is Cherry Wood Farms located (milepost ?) as they may be the area already approved for replanting. Wishing you some relief from the nooooooise.

Recently I was favored with confirmation that replanting projects along the GSP have already been approved, but not for the area where I live. I am writing again to obtain the criteria used to determine what home owners quiet enjoyment is worth replanting a natural sound buffer and whose is not. I encourage anyone so affected to look into the replanting as anything at this point will help.
Michele Spector
6:43 pm on Saturday, April 20, 2013
I believe the replanting will be in the form of Charlie brownlike trees and nothing can replace the 30 year old trees stripped away. As far as I know, from Rob, an Ocean County engineer I spoke with, only Cherry Wood Farms condos (expensive condos) are getting something. I live in Evergreen Woods condos a little bit north of Cherry Wood Condos on the southbound side. I am right behind the sign that says Exit 91. Not sure what mile marker that is. They are actually 3-4 times the distance away from the parkway as we are and yet they are getting something. Our lawyer has tried for years to get something done for us. The latest is that nothing is being done for us. I heard back from a journalist who wanted to do our story, but then never got back to me. I have spoken with the gov's office, two OC engineers, two idiots at the Highway Authority, our Mayor's office, our Senator, our Condo Lawyer, and even the DOT commissioner's office. Nothing is getting done. I think it is up to us to be greasy wheels. If all of bricktown got together to protest at a town council meeting and threatened to have their homes reaccessed to pay less taxes, then...something might get done.

I just found out from someone in Brick municipal complex that they cut sooo many more trees then they were supposed to. Because of this screw up they have proposed some new plans to fix this. We are having meeting at Evergreen Woods assn tuesday night, May 30th. I will have to confirm it is definitely on. I was also told that our lawyer has what they are proposing to do. I believe Senator Holzapfel's office does too. We are meeting him on May 1st. After I meet with his chief of staff I am meeting the archivist at the Brick Municipal to look at the project plans. I'll let you know how that goes.

This page is rapidly turning into a Patch comic strip. If there is anyone in Ocean County who is truly still hallucinating about our Governor, Senators, Assemblypersons, and/or DOT leadership being alarmed or concerned about the pattern of our fading quality of life, then by all means keep blindly voting Republican. County and local officials can do no more than you and I in this case. If you are paying an attorney to help overcome this political apathy, you are squandering your money. This deal has been signed, sealed and delivered to the political contractors on schedule and your attorneys along with the two idiots from the Turnpike know you have a better chance of winning the lottery than overcoming the cash-flow lifeline of the well-heeled financiers of our Governor, Senators, Assemblypersons, and assorted power players who feed handsomely off of your toll money, fees and taxes. The Highway Authority showed some concern for its customers but the Turnpike Authority couldn’t care less about you. When the Turnpike doubled your tolls they told you to use Route 1 if you didn’t like the way they ran their road. On the Parkway, I guess that would mean Route 9. And now that they are coming into your backyard, the only undaunted advice they have for you is ‘to move’ if you don’t like how they bulldoze. Of course, you could overcome this political indifference quite easily by simply moving into Cherry Wood Farms condos. You know the position.
