Requires public utilities and cable television companies to accommodate and relocate facilities when necessary for transportation infrastructure projects at direction of DOT.
This bill requires public utilities (like gas, electric, and water companies) and cable TV companies to relocate their cables, pipes, poles, and other facilities when the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) directs it for highway or infrastructure projects. It establishes a process where DOT must work with utilities to create a relocation plan, with utilities required to provide facility details within 60 days and confirm acceptance within 30 days. While DOT covers relocation costs, utilities must pay for pre-engineering, delays, and design work caused by their own actions. This aims to streamline project timelines by holding utilities accountable for delays affecting construction schedules.
