The work will reduce congestion and vehicle emissions in the areas near Interstate 78 and the New Jersey Turnpike, by Newark Liberty International Airport. It includes replacing the Corbin Street ramp and realigning portions of three streets – Corbin, Port and Kellogg streets – in addition to upgrades at other intersections.
