Site work and paving for a civil project in Linden, New Jersey. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

The project improves the Rt. 1&9 interchange with I-278 to provide the missing ramp connections from I-278 WB to Rt. 1&9 NB and Rt. 1&9 SB to I-278 EB. Rt. 1&9 SB will connect with I-278 EB via a new forward loop ramp which crosses both directions of Rt. 1&9 on structure and connects to I-278 WB east of Rt. 1&9. The existing I-278 WB connection to Rt. 1&9 SB will remain while the existing I-278 bridge over Rt. 1&9 NB will be replaced with a longer structure allowing the new direct ramp connecting I-278 WB with Rt. 1&9 NB to pass under I-278 WB prior to connecting to Rt. 1&9 NB. The new ramps enter and exit I-278 from the left side of the roadway. The project also improves the level of service of the Rt. 1&9 NB / Park Ave intersection by widening the intersection and providing double left turn lanes from Rt. 1&9 to Park Ave. County : Union Municipality: Linden City Mileposts: 42.20 - 42.40 As of July 17 , 2025, the project is in Conceptual status.
