Context: The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is the agency responsible for transportation issues and policy in New Jersey, such as maintaining and operating the State's highway and public road system, planning and developing transportation policy and assisting with rail, freight and intermodal transportation issues. It is headed by the "Commissioner of Transportation". The present Commissioner is Richard T. Hammer, who was appointed in October 2015., The Somerville Circle is a traffic circle located on the border of Bridgewater Township and Raritan, in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States, at the intersection of U.S. Routes 202 and 206, and New Jersey Route 28. The circle was built in the 1930s when the area was rural, but as the region became more populated the circle became notorious for being confusing for drivers and a frequent spot for traffic accidents and traffic backups. In the 1990s a bridge was built that allowed Route 202 to bypass the circle completely. The Somerville Circle is no longer officially considered a traffic circle by the New Jersey Department of Transportation., The New Jersey Turnpike (NJTP), colloquially known to New Jerseyans as "the Turnpike", is a toll road in New Jersey, maintained by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. According to the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association, the Turnpike is the nation's sixth-busiest toll road and is one of the most heavily traveled highways in the United States. Having a total length of , the Turnpike's southern terminus begins at Interstate 295 (I-295) near the border of Pennsville and Carneys Point Townships in Salem County, one mile east of the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Its northern terminus is located at the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, Bergen County. The Turnpike is a major thoroughfare providing access to various localities in New Jersey, as well as Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New York. The route divides into four roadways between exit 6 and exit 14, with the inner lanes restricted to carrying only cars, and with the outer lanes for cars, trucks and buses., Route 28 is a state highway in the central part of New Jersey , United States that is 26.44 mi ( 42.55 km ) long . Its western terminus is at U.S. Route 22 in Bridgewater Township , Somerset County while its eastern terminus is at Route 27 in Elizabeth , Union County . From its western terminus , Route 28 heads east through Raritan , intersecting County Route 567 and then U.S. Route 202 and U.S. Route 206 at the Somerville Circle before heading through the central part of Somerville . Past Somerville , the route interchanges with Interstate 287 in Bridgewater Township before intersecting many 500 - series county roads including County Route 525 and County Route 527 in Bound Brook , County Route 529 in Dunellen , Middlesex County , County Route 531 in Plainfield , Union County , and County Route 509 in Westfield . Route 28 continues east , intersecting Route 59 and the Garden State Parkway in Cranford before heading to Elizabeth , where it crosses Route 439 before ending at Route 27 . Route 28 is a two - to four - lane road its entire length that passes through suburban areas and runs within a close distance of New Jersey Transit 's Raritan Valley Line for much of its length . Prior to 1927 , Route 28 was known as Route 9 , which was designated in 1917 to run from Phillipsburg east to Elizabeth . With the creation of the U.S. Highway System in 1926 , U.S. Route 22 was designated along with Route 28 . In 1927 , most of pre- 1927 Route 9 became Route 28 , with the exception of the route through Elizabeth , which became Route 27 - 28 Link as Route 28 followed present - day Route 439 to the Goethals Bridge . Also legislated at this time was a spur of Route 28 called Route S28 , which became Route 18 in 1953 . By 1941 , U.S. Route 22 was moved off the Route 28 alignment in Phillipsburg , with U.S. Route 22 Alternate ( now Route 122 ) taking its place , as well as east of Bridgewater Township , where it was realigned to follow Route 28 - 29 Link and Route 29 to Newark . In 1953 , the western terminus of Route 28 was moved to its current location to avoid the concurrencies with U.S. Route 22 and U.S. Route 22 Alternate while the portion of the route in Elizabeth was realigned to replace Route 27 - 28 Link , with the former route becoming Route 439 ., Interstate 287 (I-287) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway in the US states of New Jersey and New York. It is a partial beltway around New York City, serving the northern half of New Jersey and the counties of Rockland and Westchester in New York. I-287, which is signed northsouth in New Jersey and eastwest in New York, follows a roughly horseshoe-shaped route from the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95) in Edison Township, New Jersey, clockwise to the New England Thruway (I-95) in Rye, New York, for . Through New Jersey, I-287 runs west from its southern terminus in Edison through suburban areas. In Bridgewater Township, the freeway takes a more northeasterly course, paralleled by U.S. Route 202 (US 202). The northernmost part of I-287 in New Jersey passes through mountainous surroundings. After crossing into New York at Suffern, I-287 turns east on the New York State Thruway (I-87) and runs though Rockland County. After crossing the Hudson River on the Tappan Zee Bridge, I-287 splits from I-87 near Tarrytown and continues east through Westchester County on the Cross-Westchester Expressway until it reaches the New England Thruway., Subject: new jersey route 28, Relation: maintained_by, Options: (A) new jersey department of transportation (B) new jersey turnpike authority
