I started this blog today after spending two hours trying in the morning all sorts of roads to travel 33 miles of my daily commute from Somerville to Trenton. The Millstone River bridges were closed because of flooding, which happens at least two times a year. The Route 206 South as well as the River Road was jammed for a mile.
Somerset County is listed in the top 10 of the Forbes list of the wealthiest counties. I am sure it tops the list of the worst counties in NJ for traffic.
Is there any hope? Not much. I don't see any traffic improvement work anywhere in the county. The only thing I saw recently was they added a few hundred of an extra lane on Route 22 East in Bridgewater. And they are building an overpass on Route 22 for Chimney Rock Road in Bridgewater.
Anybody see anything else happening to improve the roads?
Disappointment of probably 30 years: They planned, fought in the courts for over 30 years. They started widening the Route 206. Then everything stopped. While they were planning, Montgomery was building right where the road was planned. Now what happened? The highway will not be widened for a few miles in Montgomery whenever it gets widened. Oh yeah, they are building a few overpasses in Hillsborough for the Route 206 bypass. Will it help?
