Uniting New Jersey against the toxic widening of the Newark Bay Turnpike extension (I-78).
NJDOT and NJTA want to spend $4.7 $10.7 billion just to repeat decades of failed policies.
Grassroots organizations from around New Jersey are standing together to put a stop to the proposed widening of the I78 extension’s approach to the Holland Tunnel.
Our health and environment deserve better.
Hudson County will bear the brunt of the expansion.
Hudson County is the densest county in the state and the NJ Turnpike Authority wants to use eminent domain to widen a highway right through it. The health and environmental impact will be massive. What is that $4.7 billion really buying us?
Does anyone really want this?
The citizens of Hudson County made it clear that we won’t stand for this project.
The elected officials of Jersey City and Hoboken along with groups across the state certainly don’t.
How do we put a stop to this?
We need to make our voices heard. Contact your state assembly members and senators. Contact Governor Murphy. Call in to NJ Turnpike Authority board meetings. Let everyone know where you stand on the #TurnpikeTrap.
“We believe the project’s intent to increase motor vehicle traffic is ill-conceived, harmful to the air and water quality throughout the region …”
