Plans are underway to create a statewide greenway connecting Jersey City with Phillipsburg along the former Morris Canal route. The North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority recently put out a request for proposals for consultant assistance to support development of the project.

The work, set to start soon, includes roadway repaving, modernized traffic signals, and several additions like new streetlights, decorative benches, and more.

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority will break ground this month on a $10 million project that will build a new vehicular access road from Downtown into Liberty State Park.

Grand Street boasts one of the highest crash rates in Jersey City. To address this, the city is hosting a workshop to discuss ways to redesign the corridor.

Castle Point Terrace will undergo an improvement project that involves completely reconstructing the street.

Just 4 years ago, Jersey City was struggling to connect bike paths to Hoboken. Now that seems so, pardon the pun, pedestrian, as JC is now part of a 3000-mile bike path connecting Maine to Key West!

If you get to Manhattan’s Penn Station via NJ Transit’s Morris & Essex line, your commute is about to get complicated.

At last night’s city council meeting, Hoboken’s elected officials quickly approved funding for the revitalization of Washington Street, quite literally paving the way for relief to one of the city’s most pothole-ridden roads.

Plans to expand the I-78 Turnpike extension and completely rebuild one of Hudson County’s busiest bridges are moving along.

New Jersey's rail infrastructure needs some help. I say this with cautious optimism, but it looks like the powers that be may be realizing that too. In the coming weeks, the Federal Railroad Administration and New Jersey Transit will be holding two open house informational meetings on the proposed Hudson River rail tunnels.
