UPDATE: Route 70 Cleared After Afternoon Collision, Fuel and Chemical Spill

Detours were in place as authorities cleaned scene after pest control truck overturns

Route 70 has been cleared hours after the state highway was closed eastbound at its intersection with Route 571 while authorities worked to clean up a spill caused by a two-vehicle collision Tuesday afternoon. A Cowley's Termite and Pest Toyota Tundra pickup, driven by 46-year-old Steven Wrzesnewski of Ortley Beach, collided with a Ford Ranger driven by 57-year-old David Romano of Toms River on Route 70 near Wilbur Avenue at about 2:45 p.m., said Manchester Police Department Capt.

It was discussed a while ago to eliminate left turns from Wilbur onto 70E. This should be done. Also, people coming West and making a right onto Wilbur should not go into the shoulder at or before the Church. I always wait until I am close to the turn, but I look very carefully to make sure no one is in the shoulder. That is another accident waiting to happen. It's illegal to go into the shoulder…   more ›

Route 571 Reopened Between Toms River, Manchester

Repairs made to road near bridge at the border of the two townships

Traveling between Toms River and Manchester on Route 571 just got easier. The section of the county route between Route 527 and Commenwealth Boulevard near the Manchester-Toms River border was reopened this morning for the first time since Tuesday, when it was closed for major road surface repairs following Hurricane Irene. The storm led to flooding that caused the surface of the roadway leading up to the bridge to cave in, closing a section of the two-lane road and forcing drivers to take a long detour. As of today, the drive from Route 9 to 70 on 571 is now a direct route.

County to Reconfigure Route 571 and Whitesville

North side of Route 571 will be widened

Exasperated drivers will spend a lot less time waiting and cussing at the traffic light at Route 571 and Whitesville Road in Toms River once that intersection is rebuilt to widen both highways. That is the prediction of Ocean County Engineer Frank Scarantino, explaining that the average 105-second delay will be pared to 38 seconds when the improvements are completed next spring. If nothing is done the waits will get longer, he told the county’s freeholders, who are poised to approve advertising for bids for the project on today at 4 p.m. Scarantino said the north side of Route 571 will be widened, along with the west side of Whitesville Road to provide right turn lanes. A detention basin for stormwater will be built along Route 571 as well…

The least they could do is give 549 more green time. Often when sitting in a backup hardly any cars get through because its green for only 30 seconds when it should be 2 minutes! 549 is the major road and should get priority!   more ›
