Route 168, Bridge over Route 295 and Interchange Improvements

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), committed to developing transportation improvements that best balance transportation needs, the environment, community concerns and costs, is holding a Public Information Center (PIC) to provide local residents, public officials and businesses with information on the Route 168, Bridge over Route 295 and Interchange Improvements project. You are encouraged to actively participate by exploring this site anytime between July 17, 2025 -July 31, 2025.

You will have an opportunity to review a presentation, exhibits of the draft plans, submit questions, and leave feedback. Property owners with rental units are advised that tenants are also invited and encouraged to participate.  Learn more and download our flyer.

This congested interchange operates poorly due to heavy traffic volumes both entering and exiting I-295, which conflict with heavy volumes along Route 168.

NJDOT has investigated options for improving traffic flow and safety throughout the corridor, addressing substandard features, and evaluated the impacts of the potential solutions. NJDOT proposes the following:

• Convert the Route 168, I-295 Interchange to a Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI) with a new bridge. The reduced conflict points improve safety. The shorter signal cycles improve traffic flow and capacity.
