“The congestion on Route 17 underscores the need for a stable, dedicated long-term transportation funding source,” said Governor Corzine. “Restructuring our state’s finances will enable us to reduce congestion on Route 17 and fund long-overdue congestion relief projects throughout New Jersey.”
Widening roads to relieve traffic congestion is like opening one’s belt another notch in order to lose weight.
you can take backroads thru PA and it’ll get you upstate in 2.5 hours without any traffic.

We have to feel lucky to have such an active Governor, who could have retired nicely , just on the pension from his funds.
RT 4 to 208 takes you to 287 and to thruway
