SCR 133 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges United States Congress and President to provide federal infrastructure funds for extension of Route 55.

This New Jersey Senate Concurrent Resolution urges the U.S. Congress and President to approve federal infrastructure funding for extending Route 55 to the Garden State Parkway. The bill directly affects motorists, tourists, and residents in Gloucester, Cumberland, and Cape May counties who currently face severe traffic congestion and safety issues on this primary coastal route. While the resolution does not authorize construction itself, it formally requests federal support to complete a highway extension that was halted in 1975 due to rising costs and environmental obstacles. The measure aims to improve highway performance in the state and support the tourism industry that generates billions in economic activity annually.
