Route
35 Reconstruction
announcement
Lavalette,
NJ |
| Governor
Chris Christie joined
with NJDOT Commissioner
James Simpson and Lavallette
Mayor Walter LaCicero at
the Lavallette firehouse
to announce an aggressive
schedule to completely
rebuild a 12.5-mile
storm-damaged stretch
of Route 35 along the
Barnegat Peninsula
in Ocean County. The
highway, which serves
as the primary north-south
route along the Jersey
Shore peninsula from
Point Pleasant Beach
to the entrance of
Island Beach State
Park, sustained severe
damage during Superstorm
Sandy and requires
immediate attention
so that residents and
visitors can resume
normal travel in Ocean
County. The reconstruction
project will rebuild
this span of Route
35 in a stronger, more
resilient manner, while
also providing better
drainage, a smoother
driving surface, improved
accommodations for
pedestrians and bicyclists,
and more economical
repair and upkeep costs. |
