Contract awarded for wider parkway

Another section of the Garden State Parkway is getting an extra lane in southern New Jersey.

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority has awarded a $41.3 million contract to a company to add the third lane between Galloway and Egg Harbor townships. The company also will widen the shoulders.

Work is slated to begin after Labor Day and be finished by August 2017.
