Great job in keeping us up to date since NJ DOT operates in secrecy and provides next to no information about this 19 year fiasco. Sadly, another example how the US overall can no longer do the big jobs (see the Hudson River rail tunnel). In China this project would have been finished at least 5 years ago. There had to be a lot of corruption and payoffs related to the 2021 structure collapse.
I've passed that way a few times returning to New York from Delaware, and it was confusing! The tunnel was especially surprising. Thank for shedding light on this massive project. Of interest also are the RU-vidr channels covering the new Gordie Howe Bridge between Michigan and Ontario.
Good information, but why are you superimposed over all of the video? It's very distracting and not necessary. Curb your ego and just present the material.
got an email today from a follower thanking me for my top notch work, and i should be on TV somewhere. So apparently the editing style connects with some folks. that being said a fair point that at times I could fade out the overlay and let the imagery fill the screen. Mostly its more about laziness or just tired of editing after 12 hours than ego, each fade in and out is more editing work; As it is now its "drag, size" done. all that being said.. have a lot more different types of video content coming where I will be filling the screen with this handsome face
Follow the money and you will find the truth behind the 20 year plan to fix this mess. Lots of money involved and when there’s money there’s corruption involved 😅
That retaining wall in the middle of the new ramp is very confusing. It was build with I-Beams with wood blocks in between which is common for a temporary retaining wall, I just don't understand why they capped it in concrete. I can't imagine the wood will remain. As for the Browning road overpass, the plans show that remaining set of columns being replace with new ones closer to the north bound lanes. I am pretty sure they are going to need to shift over the north bound lanes of 42 to do that and they may need to wait until the completion of the collapsed section to do that.
i bet soon after the east abutment is completed and they can move all the equipment out of the lower right lanes, they'll have the space they need to shift the lanes around and address those additional supports.
maybe my intro wording was confusing. When I say "next" for brooklawn circle area and Glassboro Camden line.. my point was those are the next projects/videos I cover, which be separate from this video.
Keep up the good work 👍🏻 I do have a question. Are you going to follow the proposed glassboro 322 bypass, something about a meeting on July 10th on this matter.
Small mistake? The Column section I was likely wrong saying the yellow tubing is for concrete. Its such a minor detail but I know someone will call it out. 🙂
@@2000danlb RU-vid does allow simple trims and I was able to cut out that 2 second "tubes for concrete" comment. takes some time to process. I'll mention the edit in my description when completed. not that ya needed an explanation ha
I came to the shop probably in between 1968 or the 1970 my dad worked at the race track...one day he came home saying he had found a great sub place...and took us the next week to try it....amazing and we would go or he brought a big sub home.....i am from Montreal Canada and i never forgot how good it was...!
Eff that. Just like Covid they created it and so created the vaccine forcing you to get it. Storage units well they’re inflating everything so you don’t own but also providing you with a place to put your stuff to make money off you at the same time. Is how gates did it. Create a computer virus but create the antivirus too. Easy win. For the elite.
Dude, i miss panzarittis so bad you have no idea. I used to get mine from francos. Im now 14 years in maine. All they care about is fucking lobster rolls.. im tryin to start making panzos where i work , i dont know if im allowed to call them that due to legalities as tarantini is from what i knew to be licenced for that name. Any info on that would be appreciated! God bless
Just think, to come from Quakertown, PA; Allentown, PA; Lansdale, PA; and skip the Schuylkill Expressway via of I-476 South, to I-95 South, to U.S. 322 (Commodore Barry Bridge) East, to U.S. 130 North, to I-295 North and now over to NJ 42 South and reverse NJ 42 North to now I-295 South to U.S. 130 South to U.S. 322 West (Commodore Barry Bridge) to I-95 North to I-476 North to avoid to Schuylkill Expressway. And today the way modern technology works, just input the route into your GPS app.
Semi-related question: Why haven't 42 and the Atlantic City Expressway been re-designated as I-76? If they don't currently meet the requirements to be an interstate, what would need to be done to remedy this?
There are a number of major and minor projects that would have to take place for this to occur, some of which are already in planning / construction. There hasn’t been a formal announcement but I would imagine that is the end goal.
This is great! I was presently surprised on my way to Bellmawr Tuesday night and seen 55 was 2 lanes all the way to 55. That 55 merge has been a thorn in all of our sides for decades and then I seen 295 ramp was open! There are A LOT of happy commuters using these roads this week. BTW, Schillens is a great place!! Cheers!
Mark can you explain how the rest of the project will benefit us in the long run, getting rid of the Al-Joe curve. And if it will be demolished? Ty awesome job
Drove missing moves in both directions for the first time today. Before for over a decade, we had to take the 322 to the 55 to get to Deptford Mall from Swedesboro. But today I told my dad as we got right back on 295 south from 42 north via Missing Moves, Deptford Mall now seems like an exit off of 295 instead of 42. That's how much of a game changer Missing Moves is!
I live in Blackwood and work in Swedesboro so this helps me tremendously. It's only been two days but so far it appears that this will save me 7 to 8 minutes going to work and 5 to 6 minutes coming home. I've been driving on 42 daily for the past 35 years and I never thought I'd see this day.
Very well done! In my professional work as a traffic reporter, I have for ages talked about the mess that area is, and personally have been snagged by the "missing moves" trying to go from 295 NB to 42 SB or similar. I'm sure that the opening of that second lane on the Rt 55 NB ramp to 42 NB will also have an impact on the nearly 24/7 backup on 55 NB between Deptford Center Rd and the 42 merge. Next step is a ramp from 42 NB to Rt 55 SB and 55 NB to 42 NB.... not holding my breath on that being done soon!
Was on 295N heading towards Camden and what a difference with the ramp to 42 now. I saw cars going up the ramp and saw the new signage. Looks like the exit number for 76 is now changed too. Some signs showed the new exit number and others showed the old number. Definitely an improvement.
