Longbranch, NJ

 

 

The City of Long Branch and the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders collaborated on an aggressive project to revamp a multi-lane highway into a pedestrian-safe roadway. Birdsall Services Group (BSG) was responsible for transforming this stretch of road into an aesthetically pleasant and safe roadway that allows for an efficient flow of traffic while providing pedestrian and bikeway facilities for city residents. The resulting project included 11 new or replaced traffic signals in a closed loop design through urban arterials, roadway realignment, pedestrian and bikeway improvements, a city park renovation, drainage improvements, and landscaping. Street trees were planted to help traffic calming by narrowing the corridor view shed. Trees were also used as a median buffer between northbound and southbound vehicular traffic flow. Plazas were created at various locations to provide essential focal points to the gateway entrance to the city and to provide public spaces that buffer redevelopment areas. Construction Administration was critical as this project was done in conjunction with Pier Village, a mixed used (residential/commercial) development project.
