TOLL AGENCY CONCEPTS OF PROJECT ACCELERATION

This paper highlights the approach taken by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority with regard to construction trade-offs and project acceleration. A recently completed $500 million widening of the New Jersey Turnpike is used as a basis to illustrate several examples. Traffic-handling procedures used are generally discussed, and comparisons are made between the approach of a toll agency and that of a government highway agency.
