I-287 to return to final configuration this weekend

I-287MORRIS COUNTY — New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials announced traffic on I-287 northbound and southbound will shift to its final configuration this weekend as the project to resurface the roadway and replace the bridge deck over Eden’s Lane nears completion in Morris County.

Beginning on Friday, June 19 until 8:00 a.m. Saturday, June 20, NJDOT’s Contractor, Tilcon of New York, Inc., is scheduled to close two northbound lanes to restripe lanes to the final configuration on the I-287 northbound bridge over Eden Lane in Hanover Township. At 2:00 a.m. the lane closure will shift from the two left lanes to the two right lanes, to complete the final lane configuration.

On Saturday, June 20, at 9:00 p.m. through Sunday, June 21 at 8:00 a.m., Tilcon, Inc. will repeat the procedure on I-287 Southbound. Closing first the double left lane and later switching to a double right closure, to complete the final lane configuration for the southbound side.

The new traffic pattern will shift all five lanes back to the left into its final configuration on both the northbound and southbound sides.

“Each time the Department completes a project it helps to ensure New Jersey’s motoring public is traveling efficiently and safely,” NJDOT Commissioner Jamie Fox said. “The completion of this significant resurfacing and bridge repair reflects our commitment to maintaining our roads and bridges. As our infrastructure ages it is the Department’s responsibility to repair and replace those elements that could pose a risk to motorists. The entire region will benefit from the completion of this project.”

The $27.4 million project – which began initial construction activity in September 2012 – improved the pavement condition on a seven-mile segment of I-287 in both directions from just south of the South Street underpass in Morristown (Milepost 35.4) to the Littleton Road overpass in Parsippany (Milepost 42.2).  The project also included replacement of the bridge decks over Eden Lane in Hanover (Milepost 38.8) and upgraded guide rails, drainage clearing and various other incidental improvements to the highway.

Portable variable message signs are being utilized to provide advance notification to the motoring public of all traffic pattern changes associated with the work. The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors.  Motorists are encouraged to check www.511nj.org for real-time travel information.

CCM and Fairleigh Dickinson Launch Dual Reduced-Tuition Admissions Program

RANDOLPH — County College of Morris (CCM) and Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) signed a formal agreement this week launching the CCM-FDU Scholars Program to provide students with a significantly more affordable pathway for earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the university.

The agreement, signed by CCM President Edward J. Yaw and FDU President Sheldon Drucker, allows students to enroll in the dual admissions program as CCM freshmen or during the course of their first year at CCM. Students who graduate with an associate degree from CCM can have all their credits, up to a maximum of 64, considered for transfer to a bachelor’s or combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program at FDU.

Students in the CCM-FDU Scholars Program will be eligible for a 40 percent reduction in the university’s tuition on either of its campuses. High-achieving CCM students who are NJSTAR II recipients or members of the college’s Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society also are eligible for an additional tuition reduction.

Students who want to reside on either FDU’s Metropolitan Campus or Florham Campus also will receive an additional $1,500 per year housing grant.

“CCM has a longstanding relationship with FDU and this agreement takes it to another level,” said Yaw. “This program makes the transition more seamless, as advisors from both institutions help students stay on track for an associate degree and a bachelor’s degree. Coupled with significant reductions in tuition, there are many advantages for our students, and I expect that it will result in more of our students transferring to FDU.”

“This is a great opportunity for the students of Morris County, both at CCM and FDU, that they can afford,” said Drucker.

The launching of this new program is in addition to the articulation agreements CCM’s already holds with a number of other colleges and universities. For more information on CCM’s articulation agreements, click here.
