TINTON FALLS, NJ — Major construction work on the Garden State Parkway at Interchange 105, slated to begin Tuesday night, is postponed to Wednesday night because of the weather, state officials said.
The project, expected to take eight months, will change traffic patterns from Route 36 to the southbound Garden State Parkway in Tinton Falls. The work will start Wednesday at 10 p.m.
The ramp from Route 36 to the southbound Parkway in Tinton Falls will be closed for about eight months as work on the bridges at Interchange 105 advances, according to Thomas Feeney of the NJ Turnpike/Garden State Parkway Authority.

Five bridges on entrance and exit ramps at Interchange 105 are being replaced or repaired under a $17 million construction contract awarded to Earle Asphalt in September 2021.
Two ramps– the southbound exit ramp from the express roadway and the northbound entrance ramp to the express roadway – have been closed since March for the first phase of the construction. Work on the bridges on those ramps is scheduled to be finished by the end of the year, Feeney said.
