Quote from: roadman65 on January 28, 2025, 03:22:55 AMThe Parkway was acknowledging 600 routes for a bit, but then started to remove them ie. Exit 77 in Berkeley.

The Highway Authority used to sign 6xx routes sometimes. Once they were merged into the Turnpike Authority, that stopped, because the Turnpike Authority doesn't sign anything other than Interstate/US/State routes on its signs in terms of shields.

The Parkway still signs 500 series though.  Even though the Turnpike don't ( although the Hawks Bridge Road exit in Carneys Point on the SB side does sign CR 540) the GSP does.

That's on me, I should have included the 5xx routes, they have more or less adopted NJDOT's standard that the 5xx network is a series of state secondary highways, albeit maintained and signed by the counties (but why the numbers persist across county lines unlike the 6xx routes).

Because the numbering convention is a state thing and not individual counties choosing the numbers.

I think this is interesting how on NJ Route 49 they list the free section of the  Turnpike as just US 40 with a TO NJ Turnpike shield unlike nearby NJ 140.

On Route 140 they not only consider the free section still as the Turnpike but on the ramp to I-295 South they have Turnpike South text there considering even the NJ approach to the Delaware Memorial Bridge as the Turnpike.

I've never heard of these kinds of problems on an Interstate before. What is it with this road or this part of New Jersey?

Lots of abandoned mines around, 2 of which 80 was built directly on top of in this area.

I might be misremembering, but I feel like in older times, they used to sign the mainline roadway as 40 to the Turnpike as well and didn't consider the start of the Turnpike until after 40 exits the roadway about a mile past the 130/49 interchange. That's more or less stopped now, but you can tell those signs are from the late 90s/early 00s before the mainline roads got a bunch of sign replacements. Technically the Turnpike starts in the middle of the 130/49 interchange (you can see the NJTA mile markers start in the GSV there and the roadway is clearly paved and marked to NJTA standards, not NJDOT or DRBA) but the roadway is Route 40 through that small stretch.

What sort of testing are they going to do? Maybe drive a group of heavy vehicles down the road and see if more sink holes appear ?

That's how load testing of bridges is done.

Perhaps they would be using ground penetrating radar, as they do on Oak Island.
