The $37.6 million project is repaving sections of deteriorated pavement on Route 9 in both directions from milepost 116.7 in Manalapan Township, through Marlboro, Old Bridge, Sayreville, and South Amboy to the vicinity of milepost 135.6 in Woodbridge Township. The project will extend the useful life and improve the surface rideability of the highway, including all travel lanes, turn lanes, shoulders, ramps and median openings.

NJDOT is maintaining all travel lanes open in each direction during peak-period commuting hours throughout construction, utilizing traffic shifts. Single and double-lane closures will be allowed during overnight hours to perform the mainline resurfacing work. NJDOT is closely coordinating with NJ TRANSIT, which operates five bus routes, 38 bus stops and six Park and Rides through this stretch of the highway, to limit the impact this project will have on their service. The project, which was designed in-house by NJDOT engineers, is expected to be completed in fall 2014.

The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are encouraged to check www.511nj.org for real-time travel information.
