DEWA 251562 Old Mine Road North Construction   3

Project Description: Old Mine Road is the primary north-south route on the New Jersey side of the park, providing the only access to major visitor facilities and attractions on the New Jersey side of the park, including campgrounds, picnic areas, boat and canoe launches, hiking trails, hunting/fishing access, and biking. The project portions of Old Mine Road are deteriorating and reducing stage access for motorist's bicyclists, and pedestrians. Surface treatment is required, as determined by the Federal Highway Administration and independent validation study. This project will meet the objectives of the Federal Highway Administration pavement model results to restore the pavement and extend the life of this roadway. It will also provide for safe driving conditions for the users of the park and to protect the original investment in roads and parking.
