Future Developments
The NJDOT is planning to rebuild the interchange at U.S. Route 46 and Valley Road in Clifton. This project will reconfigure ramps, bring bridges up to standard, and will provide for three-lane connections between Route 3 and U.S. Route 46. It was announced in 2003 and is projected to cost $200 million. There are also plans to rebuild Route 3 in the vicinity of the Passaic River crossing between Main Avenue in Clifton and Route 17 in Rutherford. In mid August 2007, the NJDOT announced that it would replace the bridge deck on the Route 3 drawbridge over the Passaic River with a fixed span. This project took place during late 2007 at a cost of $3.7 million. Construction on the replacement bridge is to be finished in 2014. In addition to the replacement of the Passaic River bridge, many other bridges along Route 3 will be replaced and the road will be reconstructed to modern standards with noise walls installed. The entire project is projected to be complete in 2014.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or developments:
“He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits an inner intimation of coming events that is a thousand times more exact than anything they may say. He is impelled by inertia, rather than curiosity, and nothing is more unlike the submissive apathy with which he hears his fate revealed than the alert dexterity with which the man of courage lays hands on the future.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
