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:
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
“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)
