Morris County Commissioners issued a rare public rebuke of a municipality Thursday when they accused Morris Township leaders of quashing a bid for federal funds to advance a long-planned realignment of the Route 24-Columbia Turnpike interchange. It is with significant disappointment that we must announce an indefinite delay in moving forward because the unique opportunity to secure that federal aid, specifically for preliminary engineering, design and right of way acquisition phases, was lost last week, the commissioners statement read.
Studies to remedy the dangers of the heavily trafficked interchange have been in the works for about a decade. Located on the borders of Hanover, Florham Park and Morris Township, the Route 24 exit to Columbia Turnpike south creates a hazard as it feeds directly into the multi-lane intersection of Columbia Turnpike and Park Avenue.
