State plans Route 18 improvements for 2015



Project would improve pavement, correct drainage problems from Rues to Tpke.

The East Brunswick Township Council heard a presentation from the state Department of Transportation on Monday and voted to support plans to resurface and improve drainage on Route 18.
Currently in the concept development stage, officials hope to have a final design for the project, which will run from Rues Lane to the New Jersey Turnpike, completed in early 2015, with construction to start soon after. The estimated time for construction is two years.
Anthony DiMaggio, a consulting engineer for the DOT, explained that two separate projects — one for pavement rehabilitation, another for drainage management to ease constant flooding — have been combined on Route 18 in order to reduce the amount of time the area would be affected by construction.
