Middlesex County Road Work Affected by Shutdown As Of Friday

Middlesex County, 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? Here's a list of all the roadwork projects in Middlesex County that will be shut down, effective this Friday. Also, bridge and tunnel maintenance work will be suspended statewide, as will an ongoing $3.6 million streetlight replacement project in Middlesex County. (All federally funded work, or projects necessary for safety reasons will continue, Christie said.)

But you can expect bumpier roads if the shutdown is prolonged: Two separate, very big roadway resurfacing projects in Middlesex County — to the tune of $6.6 million and $5.3 million each — will be shut down. Repair work at the New Brunswick and Cranford NJ Transit stations will also be suspended.
