Monmouth County Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone has reported that the county will receive an additional $10.3 million in state funded grants from the Fiscal Year 2021 Transportation Trust Fund.
“At our Nov. 24 meeting, my fellow freeholders and I passed resolutions for two bridge projects; the reconstruction of Bridge MT-24 on county Route 12A (Navesink River Road) in Middletown and the reconstruction of Bridge R-3 (Broadway) over Chingarora Creek which connects Keyport and Union Beach,” Arnone said.
“Both of these bridge reconstruction projects, which total over $11 million, are entirely funded by New Jersey Department of Transportation grants, with minor program exceptions of approximately $170,000 for non-participating items. We are putting these state funded grants to good use which help boost our economy by creating jobs and keeping our infrastructure in good repair,” Arnone said.
