And western NJ needs a north/south route that isn’t two-lane, undivided Route 31. But I’m not holding my breath.

Where are you gonna build it there that isn’t through forests or farms?

Ideally, just widen 31 into a proper road. It's already been done between Clinton and Ringoes for the most part. The rest of the road get the same amount of traffic according to NJDOT but it's single lane each way with few, if any, places to pass and few jug handles to separate turning traffic. There have been numerous accidents on it near me in Warren County and it's only getting worse.

That is way easier said than done in some areas. Around Hampton and Glen Gardner there are quite a few houses and business that are on 31, as well as Spruce Run (river, not the reservoir) runs right next to it.
