Guardrails to Replace Grass Median on Parkway

COURT HOUSE – State lawmakers Tuesday announced guardrails will be placed along six miles of the Garden State Parkway to prevent head-on crashes similar to one that killed a Pennsylvania man four days earlier, The Press of Atlantic City reports.
The effort to bring those barriers to a stretch of the parkway in Middle Township started nearly three months ago after another fatal head-on collision in the area.
Legislators from the 1st District said the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which operates the parkway, will install guardrails to divide the southbound and northbound lanes between mileposts 6 and 12 by early summer.
The area there differs from much of the 173-mile parkway because the median is a patch of grass rather than a larger wooded area, or a concrete or metal barrier.
