tion Projects That Improve Safety

The Freeholders approved County Engineer R. Thomas Jaggards $20 million
plan for improvements to the Countys roads and bridges in 2008 and authorized
funding the plan that calls for just $6.6 in new county funds, with the remaining funds for
the Plan being provided by previous bonds and by the NJ Department of Transportation
and Federal Highway Administration.

This years Plan addresses continuing maintenance of our invaluable
infrastructure of highways and bridges, Freeholder Deputy Director Joseph B. Donnelly
said.
The challenge is being responsible for the largest geographic county in New
Jersey and a population that is growing toward a half-million residents, he continued.
The county highway network includes 506 miles of county roads, 364 bridges,
700 culverts, more than 243 traffic control devices and 17,000 signs, Donnelly added.
This Plan includes 20 initiatives that improve safety for motorists and
pedestrians, he continued. We receive state and federal funding for almost half of the
projects. That gives us the ability to provide maximum service at a minimal cost to
county taxpayers.
