37 Route 37 On Ramp to Route 35, Missing Move

This project will be at the entrance to Route 35 Seaside Park from Route 37. The Route 35/Route 37 interchange is the major southern entrance to the Barnegat Bay barrier island. Vehicles entering the island and travelling south to Seaside Park, Berkeley Township and Island Beach State Park enter the island utilizing Route 37 eastbound to route 35 southbound. Currently this movement consists of making a tight double horizontal curve in the shape of an “S”. The geometric concerns associated with the S-Curve were identified during the development of the original (Pre-Sandy) project. The preferred solution was to replace the S-Curve with a smooth single curve. The S-Curve wraps around three blocks of residential properties. The straightening of the S-Curve required taking three properties in full and one partially. The ROW process was on-going when Super Storm Sandy struck in October 2012. An emergency situation was created and the Department moved quickly to reconstruct the battered Route 35 and its associated drainage system. It was decided to put off the smoothing of the S-Curve as the ROW process would take its due course. The ROW has now been acquired and the Department can move forward to replace the S-Curve with a smooth single curve as originally envisioned., Point Pleasant Beach (08742), NJ
