A virtual forum and comment period is open until Feb.2 about a long awaited $97 million project to widen the highway between I-80 and Route 4.

Traffic on Route 17 north squeezes from three to two lanes, a bottleneck that goes from Lodi to Paramus, dating back to the 1930's lane configuration. A virtual public forum about the project and comment period will be available until Feb. 2Anyone who’s driven the traffic-stopping, three-lanes merging into-two section of Route 17 between Route 80 and Route 4 probably has probably had very specific thoughts and comments about it that aren’t suitable to be repeated in front of the kids.

Hearings or public outreach about that work will be handled by the municipal officials, he said. A $10 million allocation in the governor’s budget will fund work to improve Rochelle Avenue and connect streets before the bottleneck elimination project starts.
