SOUTH BRUNSWICK: Plans to build Route 92 connecting the New Jersey Turnpike with Route 1 were officially scrapped Friday as the turnpike authority decided to focus on widening the highway between interchanges 6 and 9.

In a letter to state Environmental Commissioner Lisa P. Jackson, Turnpike Authority Executive Director Michael Lapolla asked that the DEP permits issued by the agency for the 6.7-mile limited access toll road be withdrawn because the authority "decided to cancel the Route 92 project."
