NJDOT delivers $1.1B capital program in FY25, marking seventh straight year of billion-dollar investment
NEW JERSEY — The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) has announced the completion of a $1.1 billion capital program for State Fiscal Year 2025, marking the seventh consecutive year the department has delivered more than $1 billion in infrastructure investments.
In FY25, which ran from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, NJDOT awarded 111 construction contracts totaling $1.109 billion — the fourth highest total ever for the department, according to officials. The department also set a new record with 159 consultant selections valued at $585 million, surpassing the previous high of $381 million set in FY24.
“The New Jersey Department of Transportation has delivered another billion-dollar-plus capital program in SFY 2025, with a wide array of safety, operational improvement and state-of-good-repair projects that benefit all road users,’’ said NJDOT Commissioner Fran O’Connor. “I thank both Governor Murphy and our partners in the Federal Highway Administration for providing the resources that have enabled NJDOT to deliver capital programs that have averaged in excess of $1 billion over the seven completed annual budgets the Governor has signed into law.”
The consultant contracts, which assist in engineering and planning services, are expected to accelerate project delivery and move more work into construction sooner.
The Murphy administration has overseen the department’s four highest-valued capital programs, based on contract awards:
- FY2024: 115 awards, $1.245 billion
- FY2021: 118 awards, $1.226 billion
- FY2017: 127 awards, $1.154 billion
- FY2025: 111 awards, $1.109 billion
Since Governor Phil Murphy took office in 2018, the condition of the state’s highway infrastructure has also improved. At that time, only 65 percent of state highway lane-miles were in good or fair condition. That number has risen to 82 percent.
“This is more than an investment in projects — it’s a promise we’re making to the next generation that New Jersey’s infrastructure will be smarter, stronger, and safer,” said Parth Oza, NJDOT’s Assistant Commissioner of Capital Program Management.
