Improved Exit at Jackson

Well, the ride over the Bridge is improving. The Jackson St. exit has been closed for a month making the bike ride up from the bridge a pain. The route during the reconstruction of the Jackson St. exit took bikers through rough gravel and sand via the construction staging area and along the bottom of the roads berms. It was a challenge but at least we were allowed through. Overall the TNB contractor has been good to bikers. Here's a picture of the latest route on Sept. 6. Tonight the exit will be barricaded properly and striped so autos will begin using it and heavily!! The Pearl St. exit closes down Hwy 16 for remodel and I think there will be a lot of traffic at Jackson. By the looks of things the bikes will be on the side of the car lane, with some pylons protecting us! Would have been nice to be behind the Jersey barriers but that makes too much sense.
