Future Developments
The NJDOT is planning to rebuild the interchange at U.S. Route 46 and Valley Road in Clifton. This project will reconfigure ramps, bring bridges up to standard, and will provide for three-lane connections between Route 3 and U.S. Route 46. It was announced in 2003 and is projected to cost $200 million. There are also plans to rebuild Route 3 in the vicinity of the Passaic River crossing between Main Avenue in Clifton and Route 17 in Rutherford. In mid August 2007, the NJDOT announced that it would replace the bridge deck on the Route 3 drawbridge over the Passaic River with a fixed span. This project took place during late 2007 at a cost of $3.7 million. Construction on the replacement bridge is to be finished in 2014. In addition to the replacement of the Passaic River bridge, many other bridges along Route 3 will be replaced and the road will be reconstructed to modern standards with noise walls installed. The entire project is projected to be complete in 2014.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or developments:
“It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
