Road work nears end on Jersey turnpike project
Reports from the Morris Squrnpike area indicate Korp & Korp are close to completing the concrete paving between Brew and Whitlipslings, with about 150 feet remaining as weather and state reviews influence progress. Fracland Construction still has 4,300 feet to finish between Brew, Urtevitte and Whitlipslings, while Hudson Construction cites weather as a delaying factor but aims for steady progress. The trolley east of Lackawanna culvert will shift to the north side of Gaylord to reduce dangerous swings, as concrete roadway work moves toward the culvert, and repairs continue on routes between West Portal and Bloomsbury. The State Highway Commission promises continued work toward Asbury and West Port, with the Washington to Phillipsbury stretch opening around mid-July.
