Construction is anticpated to start later this summer. 

Some of the main work items include:

  • Widening US-189 to include two travel lanes in each direction, for the northbound and southbound traffic.

  • Intersection and roadway curvature safety improvements.

  • Significant hillside excavation and rock cutting to make space for the road widening.

    • Excavated hillside soils would be placed along the east side of US-189 and then shaped and vegetated to match the surrounding hillside conditions. Click this link to see a visual example of how the excavated hillside soils would look.   

  • Signalizing the US-189 and SR-113 intersection.

  • Enhancing the Island Beach Day Use Area entrance. 

  • Installing wildlife protection measures.
