Gloucester Township Road Work Affected by State Shut Down As of Friday

Gloucester Township, 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?

Section X of the Gloucester Township bike path project will be put on hold. The $170,167 project is funded by a state grant issued in 2016.

There is also a $211,236 capital improvement project in nearby Clementon that will come to a halt.

Additionally, several NJ Transit River Line projects will be put on hold.

These projects include the assessment of conditions for vehicles and the line itself, the Custom Traction Motor Design and Prototype Procurement project, shop upgrades and statewide communication system upgrades and capital asset replacements.

Also, bridge and tunnel maintenance work will be suspended statewide. All federally funded work, or projects necessary for safety reasons will continue, Christie said.
