Traffic

Jersey Shore drivers are being given a heads up this week as a couple road projects will be affecting people across Monmouth, Ocean and Burlington Counties over the next few days.

A new redesigned traffic signal by the Target and Lowe's shopping center on Hooper Avenue is now operational, according to Ocean County officials and the entire project is near completion.

A Pemberton man with multiple active warrants out for his arrest got into even more trouble when he fled a detective in Union Beach.

The Route 88 Bridge over the Point Pleasant Canal in Point Pleasant will be closed and detoured overnight Monday through Friday for two weeks as the painting project advances.

The new Midstreams Bridge, which crosses over Beaver Dam Creek in Brick, was reopened to traffic on Tuesday.

It's taken three years but a completion date for the Route 37-166 road project in Toms River has been set...again...but for real this time.

High gas prices, high car maintenance costs and high rush hour traffic also play a roll.

The Ocean County Freeholders have awarded a contract for upgrades and improvements to get underway at the intersection of Oberlin and Cedar Bridge Avenues.

There's more road work to let you know about in Ocean County, but this time it's in the southern part of the county.

A heads up for Ocean County drivers starting tomorrow, the NJ DOT will be closing lanes on Route 166 between Route 37 and Old Freehold Road.

A Point Pleasant man is hospitalized with head and chest injuries after running a light on Route 88 in Brick Thursday night and colliding with another car waiting to turn left onto Jack Martin Boulevard.

A man who fled Lakewood Police on Sunday is arrested by Toms River Police on Monday at the Ocean County Mall.
