Pavement preservation north contract 7 - FY 2026, various routes, counties and towns-construction

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $17.94 million to the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 29, 2025, for pavement preservation construction activities. The award funds the Pavement Preservation North Contract 7 project for fiscal year 2026, with an anticipated completion date of October 29, 2027. The project encompasses pavement preservation and resurfacing work across Routes 23, 53, 62, 94, and 181 spanning multiple municipalities and townships in Sussex, Morris, and Passaic Counties, New Jersey, including Wantage, Montague, Hamburg, Hardyston, Vernon, Parsippany-Troy Hills, Jefferson, and Totowa.

As a formula grant administered under the Federal-aid Highway Program, this award represents a statutory allocation to New Jersey based on established apportionment mechanisms rather than a competitive solicitation process. The funding supports the state's pavement preservation priorities as established through the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and reflects the ongoing shift in federal highway investment toward infrastructure maintenance and preservation activities on public roads. NJDOT, operating as the prime grant recipient and project administrator, manages the execution of this construction contract in accordance with federal transportation program authority and applicable environmental, design, and procurement requirements.
