Emergency repairs in new jersey john rawlins live in vineland, this could be a headache for some drivers this summer. Reporter it has the potential if are you using route 55 this summer the emergency work could slow things down as it squeezes lanes here, inconvenient . Yes, but its critical work and needs to be done. The exit 26 overpass built 25 years ago does not look like trouble from a distance but they found cracks in the bolts in the understructure severe enough to order money work. In this case a portable drill is used to cut into the beams and then they will build new support plates. Route 55 will be open but there will be occasional lane closures drivers understand the need. They need to fix that. That is what they are doing now. It will have traffic backed up all over the place. It could collapse and could be a big accident and we dont want that. Worth it . Definitely worth it. I prefer the wait than getting hurt. With memorial weekend coming up, the state is committing to keeping all you lanes open from friday until tuesday but the repair will stretch into the summer months and its a popular way to reach southern shore points and that could slow beach goers. Its unfortunate for local businesses and people coming from pennsylvania coming in and obviously the local people as well. Reporter so this would seem to be a case of driver beware or be aware if i55 is part of your itinerary be aware that through periods this summer there could be lane squeezes and it could slow progress.
