Record amount awarded for consultant contracts in FY25
TRENTON - The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) delivered a Capital Program in State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2025 of more than $1 billion for the 7th consecutive year and the largest amount of consultant selections in a single year, demonstrating the Murphy Administration’s commitment to infrastructure investment.
During the recently concluded fiscal year, NJDOT awarded 111 construction contracts at a total value of $1.109 Billion dollars, the fourth highest amount awarded in a single year. The State fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30.
“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,’’ NJDOT Commissioner Fran O’Connor said. “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.”
In addition, the Department made 159 consultant selections valued at a record $585 million. This represents the largest value of consultant selections, topping the previous record of $381 million awarded in SFY 24. These contracts help speed projects through the delivery pipeline, to help get more work out on the street sooner.
The largest Capital Program was in SFY 24 when 115 construction contracts valued at $1.245 billion were awarded. The top four Capital Programs, determined by the value of contracts awarded, have all been delivered during the Murphy administration:
This investment is paying off. When Governor Murphy took office in 2018, only 65 percent of state highway lane-miles were in good or fair condition. Today that number stands at 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. That’s the real impact of this work,” said Parth Oza, NJDOT’s Assistant Commissioner of Capital Program Management. “Commissioner O’Connor has pushed us to streamline our delivery process and to develop innovative and cost-effective ways to continuously improve New Jersey’s transportation network.”
Below are a few projects awarded in SFY25 that exemplify NJDOT’s commitment to safety, resiliency, and environmental stewardship that enhance the mobility of New Jersey’s 9.3 million residents and all those who travel through our State. These projects will have a lasting impact and improve the quality of life for everyone traveling in and through New Jersey.
