A 1231 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits DOT from taking certain action on certain rock fall mitigation projects and requires DOT to conduct analysis on project alternatives.

This bill prohibits New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT) from planning, designing, or building a rock wall between mileposts 1.00 and 1.50 on Interstate 80. It requires the DOT to analyze all feasible non-rock-wall alternatives for rock fall mitigation in that specific highway section before proceeding. The law directly affects DOT project planning on I-80 and mandates a full review of alternatives like netting or slope stabilization instead of rock walls. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
