Construction on rt 18 by rt 1

[RUfinal4]

I was on Rt 18 over the weekend going to Highland Park and they have a lot of construction between the Turnpike by the Rt 1 turnoff not far from Rutgers. Hopefully this construction is completed before the fall when students are back on campus and 50k + fans are headed to the stadium.

I moved into that general area in 1960, and rt. 18 was under construction and has been,
for most of the time the last 55 years good luck, on it being ready for the season.

The only impact it has in this phase right now is 1 lane out of the 3 available northbound just above where 18 runs over the turnpike is closed (just south of the Hilton/Business building traffic lights). It's very minimal impact except for early morning commuters to the turnpike traveling south to north right now.

Stages 4 and 5 were just started (actually on time) the past couple of weekends.
