Site work and paving for a road / highway in West Orange, New Jersey. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

The purpose of this project is to provide greater mobility, reduce congestion and enhance safety through simplicity of movement through the interchange. The improvements include a new ramp (NW-E) providing a direct connection from Rt 23 Southbound to I-80 Westbound. Three new bridges are anticipated to facilitate the construction of the new ramp. A connection allowing travel from I-80 Eastbound to Rt 23 Northbound and Southbound and Rt 46 Westbound via a new ramp connection. Adjustments to the lane configuration on the I-80 between Rt 23 and the bridge over the Passaic River to improve lane continuity will be made, and modifications to the existing exit and entry ramps on I-80 to improve the merge and diverge with the mainline roadway. A number of retaining walls are anticipated in conjunction with the bridge and ramp construction.
