This work is part of a $2.3 million federally funded project that will preserve approximately four miles of pavement using High Performance Thin Overlay (HPTO) on I-80 eastbound between Route 46/Ledgewood Avenue and Berkshire Valley Road in Roxbury and Mount Arlington, Morris County.
This project includes paving all ramps within the project limits and will further improve driving conditions on I-80 by adding rumble strips, and new signage to the roadway. This project is expected to be completed in summer 2023.
The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors.
