Washington Township has four US/State/Interstate routes that pass through the Township: U.S. Route 130, State Route 33, I-195 (Central Jersey Expressway), and the New Jersey Turnpike/Interstate 95. The Central Jersey Expressway (195) is a major aretery that connects In November 2006, a 33 bypass was proposed to be constructed near the intersection with CR 526 to the intersection of U.S. Route 130 and The New Jersey Turnpike Authority is currently working on a major widening project that would extend the "dual-dual" configuration to Exit 6 (Mansfield Township) from it\\\\\\\'s current southern beginning at Exit 8A (Monroe Township). Exit 7A will require additional ramps to be constructed, widening the 195 expressway\\\\\\\'s overpasses, and an expansion of the 7a toll gate. The 7A toll gate expansion would consist of constructing 3 more booths at the toll gate. Due to vehicular noise, residents in the Woods of Washington want sound barriers to be installed along the Turnpike. During peak hours, the decibel levels can reach over 90 (an unacceptable amount which can cause health problems). The residents in this development are situated immediately north of the bridges carrying Interstate 195 over the Turnpike. However, sound barriers may not be built until 2012, when the widening between Mansfield Township and Monroe Township is completed[3] References
