WEST MILFORD The Passaic County Board of Chosen Freeholders held a progress report at the Greenwood Lake Turnpike project earlier this month. The first phase of the construction of the new roadway alignment for Greenwood Lake Turnpike between Marshall Hill Road and Awosting Road began March 6. The project will take two years to complete with a completion date scheduled for April 2008. It is currently on schedule. The work will change approximately one mile of road and will eliminate numerous obsolete curves and bends. Evacuation and the road foundation of the new alignment through the mountain have been completed as well as the relocation of utilities. Improvements to the roadway will include drainage facilities and the replacement of two existing bridges to accommodate the new alignment as well as construction of culverts, retaining walls, drainage system and roadway. The old roadway will be abandoned upon completion of the new alignment and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection will accept the old right-of-way as part of the adjacent State Park system. The contractor is Petillo, Inc. of Flanders, N.J. and the contract cost is $8,890,875.
