Cinnaminson Road Work Affected by State Shut Down As of Friday

The governor's office has released a list of transportation projects that will shut down Friday due to a lack of funding.

Cinnaminson, NJ -- Gov. Chris Christie is playing hardball with the New Jersey Legislature, and is vowing to go through with a planned shutdown of all roadwork projects in the state starting Friday, after the Senate refused his proposal to raise the state’s gas tax.

How will this affect you?

The final phase of the Waterford Drive Project in Cinnaminson will be put on hold. The $195,000 project is being funded by a state grant issued in 2014.
