Structural Design Update

The bridge expansion taking place over the NJ Turnpike entrance ramp will feature a new, single span bridge with a span length of 64 feet, making it long enough to accommodate three lanes of traffic passing underneath leading to and from the Turnpike. It also measures 130 feet long (14 girders at 10 foot spacing), providing enough room for the combined 9 lanes of traffic travelling Northbound and Southbound on Route 18. The typical girder that will be used is a W27x539.

Finalized Designs

The design for the Route 18 Corridor Improvements has been finalized, with snapshots of two areas of improvement shown below. The proposed turnaround ramp connecting Route 18 Northbound to Route 18 Southbound is seen on the bottom left, while the entrance ramp to the NJ Turnpike is shown on the bottom right.
