It was a staggering accomplishment: The 10,000 workers who were employed on the original construction of the New Jersey Turnpike built a modern superhighway the Saturday Evening Post described as "the most spectacular piece of highway ever built" in less than two years. Here's to them this Labor Day Weekend!

Back-to-school season means more buses, more traffic, and more activity on the road. Stay alert around school zones and bus stops to help make the trip safer for students, families, and everyone sharing the roadway.

SEE UPDATE BELOW

The rehabilitation of the Harry Laderman Bridge on the Western Spur of the New Jersey Turnpike in Newark and Kearney will enter a new stage of construction this weekend, and drivers will encounter a new, temporary traffic pattern as a result.

The lanes of the southbound bridge will divide. The right and center lanes will shift right onto the existing shoulder and right lane. The center lane will be behind construction barrier and closed to traffic. The left lane will operate as usual.

This temporary configuration, which is expected to remain in place until late 2026, will allow the contractor to continue the rehabilitation of the bridge into the center lane. The work in the right lane was completed before the FIFA World Cup began. The work in the left lane will begin once the center lane is done.

The new traffic pattern could cause delays until drivers become familiar with it. Drivers using Interchange 15E are advised to stay in the lanes to the right of the center-lane closure.

To check traffic conditions in the area, call 511 or visit 511nj.org.

UPDATE (8/31/26): THE WORK TO INSTALL THIS CENTER-LANE CLOSING HAS BEEN POSTPONED BECAUSE OF WEATHER. WHEN A NEW DATE IS SET, WE WILL POST AGAIN ON FACEBOOK. PLEASE CHECK BACK.

The construction of the New Jersey Turnpike in 1951 cut off the route between barn and pasture for the cows at Forsgate Farms in Cranbury, so the original designers of the Turnpike included this box culvert to provide the cattle with safe passage. This was one of three livestock tunnels included in the original construction of the Turnpike.

Not all cows got the message. In 1966, four calves wandered onto the Turnpike and had to be corralled by New Jersey State Police Trooper Stanley Hetman and returned to safety in the back of his troop car.
