Construction Value:
- $35 Million

Project Overview

Role: Prime

M&J Engineering D.P.C. (M&J) is providing construction supervision services for installation of hybrid changeable message signs (HCMS) at various locations along the New Jersey Turnpike (OPS T3749; contract T600.481B). The project involves installation of 22 HCMS at various locations along the Turnpike; removal of existing sign structures; construction of foundations for sign structures; furnishing and installation of overhead sign support structures; installation and testing of HCMS; installation of roadway safety features; and associated electrical and ITS work. The foundation will include constructing up to 65-foot-deep drilled shafts, support piers, and pedestal ranging from 5 feet to 25 feet tall. The locations are spread from Milepost 92.80 (Service Area 10S) to Milepost 122.20 (NS95 Upper) on the Turnpike located in Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, and Union counties. Each HCMS site requires its own maintenance and protection of traffic (MPT) setup for construction of foundation, installation of ITS equipment pad or platform, installation of beam guide rail, median barrier protection, and drainage and grading work. Extensive coordination will be required with PANYNJ and utility companies including, cable, telephone, fiber, electric, gas/petroleum, sewer, water, and railroad where the new structures require utility or extensive safety precautions.
