The New Jersey Turnpike Authority held the third in-person Public Information Center (PIC) for the first project of the Newark Bay-Hudson County Extension Improvements Program. The PIC took place in Jersey City on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. in the Mary McLeod Bethune Life Center. The event followed the format of an open house and included a presentation and opportunities for residents to ask questions and speak one-on-one with Turnpike Authority officials and members of the Program team. There were information stations around the room so that residents could learn more about the first project, the reconstruction between Interchanges 14 and 14A, and its benefits and opportunities.
