A request for federal funding for the project to connect the Fort Dix and Lakehurst sections of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst has gone before a new committee.
U.S. Rep. Andy Kim (D-03) recently submitted an $8 million request to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for the Route 539 overpass project.
The committee request, Kim said, is potentially a new path toward funding the critical infrastructure project.
“The trouble we’ve had before, there’s continued disagreement over who is going to pay for part of it,” Kim said. “It’s holding up a significant issue . I decided to try and come at this from a different direction.”
