SPRINGFIELD N.J. – Today, Congressman Andy Kim (NJ-03) welcomed Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to Burlington County to visit the site of an infrastructure project that will soon break ground just outside Pandora Diner on Route 206 at the intersection of Monmouth & Juliustown Roads.
“I’m proud to welcome Secretary Buttigieg to our district as we begin one of the very first highway projects in New Jersey coming from the bipartisan infrastructure law,” said Congressman Kim. “Getting this project underway is a great first step, but there are more projects coming that will get people back to work rebuilding our roads and bridges, making sure every family in New Jersey has clean water coming to their home, and expanding broadband internet access to every corner of the state. We’re just getting started and I’m grateful to have Secretary Buttigieg with us as we begin rebuilding our aging infrastructure.”
The purpose of this project is to improve the drainage, intersections safety, congestion relief, ADA compliance, and to improve access within the project limits. They are constructing head-to-head left turn lanes at all 4 approaches, improved signal timing and geometric improvements. The total cost of this project is $11.328 million.
Congressman Kim is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and the House Committee on Small Business. More information about Congressman Kim can be found on his website, kim.house.gov.
