For this project, the Dewberry/KSE accomplished the NJDOT’s goal to improve local and regional highway safety enabling by traffic to flow more freely on Routes 1 and 130. The roadways are heavily traveled regional routes used by more than 130,000 motorists each day.

To accomplish this, NJDOT removed the previously modified traffic circle and the existing traffic signals on Routes 1 and 130 and replaced it with a flyover that directly connects Route 1 Southbound to Route 130 Southbound and Route 130 Northbound to Route 1 Northbound.

The Deweberry/KSE team was responsible for building four bridges, a noise wall and retaining walls, widening of the road, grade, pave, improving drainage and lighting and relocation of utilities. This $83 million project spans one mile on Route 1, 1.3 miles on Route 130 and a quarter of a mile on Georges Road (Route 171).

The 18-month contract contained a $1.7 million incentive to finish six months earlier. All efforts was made to curtail the length of this contract and alleviate construction impacts on motorists, local residents and local businesses.
