The bottom line for me is to ensure our citizens that no matter what road they take, it is the safest road and the least congested road possible. That is why this project is so important.
Transportation is New Jersey's lifeblood.
Traffic congestion is one of the top frustrations of New Jerseyans. Route 206 is being widened by adding an extra lane in each direction, building new structures to replace both the NJ Transit Bridge and the Raritan River Bridge and constructing a middle barrier along the entire length of the project. Intersections are also being improved with new signals and jughandles. My record in supporting transportation includes sponsoring the renewal of the Transportation Trust Fund, which focuses on reducing congestion, restoring TTF's fiscal integrity and designing a 21st century transportation policy.
