Route 1 and College Farm Road Construction

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is already at work to replace the Route 1 bridge over College Farm Road. The $24.1 million project will replace the structurally deficient bridge carrying Route 1 over an abandoned Conrail line and North Meriel Drive/College Farm Road with a wider structure, and the two current connector roads beneath the structure will be converted to a single roadway. NJDOT will also make safety improvements on Route 1 between Milltown Road and Ryders Lane in North Brunswick. The existing, unused railroad line will be removed, permitting the construction of a shorter, one-span bridge and the realignment of the access roadways underneath. The project will also feature new traffic signals on the adjoining access roadways. Construction is scheduled for completion in June 2011.

NJDOT has installed variable message signs on Route 1 to inform motorists of the closure. As construction progresses, the G.H. Cook Campus sign on Route 1 will be replaced with a temporary sign for the campus and College Farm Road. Real-time travel and construction information is available at www.nj511.info.
