HIGHLANDS, NJ — A structure fire at 77 Navesink Avenue (Highway36) in Highlands on Monday gutted the second floor of the building and closed the highway in both directions for a couple hours between the bridge and Linden Avenue.
The house is on the south side of the highway between OLPH Church and Off the Hook Restaurant.
Traffic was diverted from Linden at Rte 36, along Bay Avenue to the bridge for two hours while firefighters battled the blaze.
States must also meet minimum enforcement standards for all federally mandated legislation (for example, minimum penalties for violation of these laws and a minimum number of per capita underage drinking convictions or a compelling explanation regarding why this number is not met).
In most states, the exit numbers correspond to the mileage markers on the Interstates (with an exception being I-19 in Arizona, whose length is measured in kilometers instead of miles).
A widespread urban legend states that one out of every five miles of the Interstate Highway System must be built straight and flat so as to be usable by aircraft during times of war; it is not true.
