Highways/Bridges Award of Merit: Interchange 6 to 9 Widening Program, Interchange 8
Interchange 6 to 9 Widening Program, Interchange 8, Woodbridge, N.J.
Part of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority's $2.3-billion interchange widening program, this upgrade included a doubling of the main line to 12 lanes and providing separation between cars and trucks. The crew was also required to do a total reconstruction and relocation of Interchange 8 to accommodate the proposed widening and to provide a direct connection to a bypass for safe and free flow of traffic between freeways.
