N.J. To Shut Down Dozens Of Road, Train Projects In Hoboken And Hudson County

Hoboken, NJ - New Jersey’s transportation funding issues are officially impacting Hoboken and Hudson County.

The Governor's Office has released a list of transportation projects that will shut down Friday due to a lack of funding after legislators failed to see eye to eye on a gas tax increase to fuel the state's Transportation Trust Fund (TTF).

The temporary shutdown of $3.5 billion worth of projects will impact both Department of Transportation and NJ Transit initiatives. Work on projects funded by the TTF will stop by 11:59 p.m. on Friday for at least seven days, the governor's office said.

The shutdown follows an Executive Order by Gov. Chris Christie, who last week pledged work would be halted if legislators didn't approve a 23-cent gas tax to fund the state's Transportation Trust Fund, which expired Friday.
