The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is committed to developing transportation improvements that balance transportation needs, safety, the environment, community concerns, and cost. NJDOT will hold a Virtual Public Information Center (PIC) to provide local residents and businesses with information on the Bordentown Avenue (CR 615), Burlew Place and Eugene Boulevard Interchange project in Sayreville, Middlesex County. You are encouraged to actively participate by providing comments by mail, by emailing BordentownAvenueInterchange@gmail.com, or the comment form on this website.

The PIC will be held virtually. Please visit this website between April 22, 2026 and May 6, 2026 to learn more about the project and provide comments.

Project Details

The project consists of a Concept Development Study aimed at improving the interchange at Bordentown Avenue, Burlew Place, and Eugene Boulevard. Currently, the unsignalized intersections experience conflicting traffic patterns, poor lighting, and limited visibility under the Route 9 Bridge. From 2014 to 2016, over 230 crashes were reported in the vicinity, resulting in an NJDOT safety score of 10 out of 10 (with 10 being the worst). While Bordentown Avenue (CR 615) continues to carry high traffic volumes, the combination of unsignalized intersections, limited visibility, and high crash rates presents significant safety concerns.

The project seeks to address these operational and safety deficiencies to improve travel through the interchange. The Preferred Preliminary Alternative (PPA) proposes:

• A roundabout at Bordentown Avenue / Route 9 Southbound ramps / Kenneth Avenue / Burlew Place

• Realignment of Bordentwon Avenue west of the roundabout

• A roundabout at Bordentown Avenue / Route 9 Northbound ramps / Eugene Boulevard

• Realignment of Eugene Boulevard into the proposed roundabout

• A Route 9 Southbound slip ramp with acceleration and deceleration lanes

• Upgraded guiderails along Route 9

This PPA enhances safety, extends the service life of infrastructure, maintains traffic operations during construction, and minimizes overall impacts to the traveling public 

Schedule

• Preliminary Engineering Complete: Summer 2026

• Final Design Complete:  Sumer 2029

• Construction Start: Fall 2029

• Construction Complete: Fall 2031
