Lacey residents and drivers who travel Route 9 through the area of Lacey Road will be facing longer travel times in the coming weeks, as a project to widen and improve the intersection is expected to get under way soon. Engineering plans on display at a public information center last week at the Lacey Municipal Building laid out the details of the changes to the intersection, and local engineers from the Department of Transportation were on hand to answer questions from the public about the project and its impacts. About a dozen residents took advantage of the three-hour session, according to the sign-in sheet. The $4 million contract for the project was awarded to Earle Asphalt Company, of Wall and Farmingdale. The first phase of the …

State policy would provide safe access to major roadways for all users, including bicyclists and pedestrians
The township Committee will be moving forward on the state Department of Transportation’s Complete Streets Policy, which would provide safe access to major roadways for all users, including bicyclists and pedestrians. The Complete Streets Policy would be implemented through the planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation of new and retrofit transportation facilities within public rights of way that are federally or state funded capital programs, the resolution says. The policy would provide safe access by designing and operating a multi-modal network of transportation options. Some of which could be imposed at the Planning Board level, Jacobs said, in addition to those administered through the DOT’s capital program. “When it …

The project was recently awarded for $3,938,713.13 by the state Department of Transportation
Road improvements at Route 9 and Lacey Road can begin as early as September since the project was awarded in June, state Department of Transportation spokesman Timothy Greeley said. The project that will reconfigure the busy intersection was awarded on Thursday, June 28 to Earle Asphalt Company in Wall for $3,938,713.13. The funds were budgeted for in the state’s Fiscal Year 2012 Capital Program. “NJDOT identified this intersection as one of the most congested along Route 9 in Ocean County through a corridor study conducted a few years back, but we also credit local officials and residents with voicing their safety and congestion concerns about this intersection to us as well,” he said. Typically, it takes about two months to go from award…

Grade differential between north and southbound lanes, blamed in bus crash, would be removed if paving continues
The Route 9 repaving project through Barnegat and neighboring towns that had been all but stopped for the summer will likely be nearly complete by the end of June. DOT spokesman Timothy Greeley said the department’s self-imposed rule of banning lane closures on Shore-area roads between May 15 and Labor Day led the DOT to leave the southbound lane of an 11-mile stretch from Lacey to Stafford unpaved for the duration of the summer. But that meant the two-and-a-quarter-inch grade differential between north and southbound lanes – a significant ledge from new pavement to old – would persist for months. According to Greeley, the DOT maintains that the grade differential between north and southbound lanes is within allowable project guidelines. …

The NJ Department of Transportation (NJDOT) recently announced $200,000 in funding for the Laurel Boulevard Roadway Development Project. According to Director of Public Works Casey Parker, traveling towards Route 9 from Laurel Boulevard has been a problematic transition.

A design has not been developed yet but the township does have a conceptual plan prepared, Parker said. Parker said curbs will be put in, resurfacing of the entire …
