The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded NJ Transit an additional $425 million for transportation projects as part of the annual Federal August Redistribution process.
This is the highest amount New Jersey has ever received, and the fourth-highest award nationwide, only behind California, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
Currently, the tracks slice Long Branch into an east and west side, which local leaders say is not ideal. "Residents have been cut off from the shops, restaurants and healthcare facilities on the other side," Murphy said."I think it would give people access to get directly to us, and to me that would be awesome. It think it would create opportunities for other restaurants or other businesses in the area to expand," said Tom D'Ambrisi, owner of The Block.
"I would imagine it's going to mean a lot. First of all, I had to walk to the train the other day, it confused me. You know, a tunnel would be nice," Manzo said.
