Morris County To Hold Info Session On Route 24 Interchange Project

MORRIS TOWNSHIP, NJ — Morris County will host a public information session on the Route 24/Columbia Turnpike/Park Avenue Interchange Project. The virtual event will take place at 7 p.m. May 17.

You don't need to register to attend. But the county government recommends accessing the meeting online, rather than by phone, because the presentation will feature graphics and videos. See how to join the online meeting.

After the presentation, the public can ask questions.

The project examines four alternatives to improve traffic between the Route 24 Eastbound off-ramp and the intersection of Columbia Turnpike (Route 510) and Park Avenue (Route 623). Over past decades, the area — around the borders of Hanover Township, Florham Park and Morris Township — has seen significant commercial and residential growth.

Route 24 is under the New Jersey Department of Transportation's jurisdiction, while Columbia Turnpike and Park Avenue are under Morris Township's. Find more info on the project here.
