Toms River: After 3+ years of headaches and lost income for businesses, the roadway has finally been repaved and open. All lanes are finally open and accessible for vehicles. The final cost is still being calculated, but it will top $12 Million likely when the final bill comes due.

The construction has been a joke for residents in the area as it dragged on far longer than it should have. Local businesses have taken to signs and protests to spotlight the inefficiency of the construction project. However, the roadway is now fully constructed and ready for motorists to travel with ease.
