Project Description

Rio Grande Avenue is located in Wildwood, New Jersey. and serves as one of the three entrances and evacuation routes for the resort cities of Wildwood and North Wildwood and the Borough of Wildwood Crest; one of the most popular summer destinations in New Jersey. During the summer months, the cities’ population surges from 65,000 to more than 250,000 people, creating a drastic increase in traffic volume during the peak periods. The purpose of the project was to reduce traffic congestion by widening the roadway to provide two-way, left-turn lanes, raise the roadway profile, improve the deficient drainage system, install a regional pump station, and enhance the gateway by adding streetscaping elements and destination signing.
