Overview
The New Jersey Department
of Transportation (NJDOT)
strives to make winter
travel as safe as possible.
The NJDOT has 12,850 lane
miles of Interstate, US
and State routes under
its jurisdiction that it
must keep open and passable
at all times during winter
weather. The goal during
a winter storm is to maintain
the roads for safe travel,
at safe speeds, by using
anti-icing materials and
when appropriate, removal
of the snow with plows.
NJDOT utilizes all available
resources to
provide the best pavement
service level during each
winter storm. The intensity,
duration and temperature
of each storm determine
the ability to get to bare
pavement by the end of the storm.
Travelers should always
use caution and drive according
to the road and weather
conditions.
