Turnpike Authority Holds Expansion Session
The Turnpike Authority plans to expand the turnpike between Exit 6 and Exit 8A. The plan at present calls for the extending of the separate car and truck lanes further south making the highway 12 lanes (six in each direction). They would also relocate the Interchange 8 toll plaza to East Windsor and widen the 7A plaza. Finally they would add a lane between Interchange 8A and 9 by restriping the pavement.
Final planning is expected to take another six months, with the goal of finishing by March. Under the current plan, construction would begin in 2009 and finish by 2013.
