The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) and its contractor, Earle Asphalt, are conducting a long-term project along Route 18 in East Brunswick, which is expected to be completed in fall 2026. This work is part of an $86.1 million federally-funded Drainage and Pavement Rehabilitation project that will make repairs on approximately four and a half miles of Route 18. Work includes milling and paving, improvements to the drainage systems and stormwater basins, utility relocation, installation of new sidewalks and ADA-compliant curb ramps, and upgrading guiderail. Improvements will also be made to various intersections throughout the project limits.
Motorists are advised to slow down, use caution, and expect delays as the project will impact traffic along the Route 18 corridor.
Construction updates and real-time travel information are available on the NJDOT’s traffic information website at www.511nj.org. For news, follow the NJDOT on Twitter @NewJerseyDOT or the NJDOT Facebook page.
Should you have questions, concerns, complaints, or suggestions related to the project, please contact the NJDOT and/or its contracted vendors.
