“We look forward to continuing to build upon our successful working relationship with the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and draw upon our experience managing large, complex capital programs, including our previous work on the authority’s Interchange 6 to 9 Widening Program,” said Dan Faust, Chief Executive of AECOM’s U.S. East region.
The Interchange 1 to 4 Widening Program is intended to increase mainline capacity and expand interchange operations over a 36.5-mile stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike, decreasing congestion and improving environmental conditions throughout the corridor. AECOM’s role encompasses program administration; coordination and communication with stakeholders; conceptual and preliminary design; and environmental services.
In addition to increasing mobility, the Interchange 1 to 4 Widening Program provides the authority the opportunity to make further improvements, such as replacing overhead structures, upgrading signage, enhancing highway safety, updating data collection, and advancing stormwater management practices in accordance with new infrastructure requirements.
