NEW THIRD LANE OPENS ON PARKWAY FOR WEEKEND

Motorists who are heading down to the shore this weekend will find an easier commute on the Garden State Parkway.  The New Jersey Turnpike Authority announced that a third lane that runs between Toms River and Long Beach Island is now open in both directions on the highway.  That means three lanes are now available in each direction which is expected to ease traffic congestion.  The price tag for this project, $225 million.
