Description
This has been a problem for years. Its right at the route 34 / route 33 overpass. The enormous potholes are on the sharp turn to get onto 33 from route 34. The vehicle in front of me during our last snowstorm hit one of these potholes and spun around twice before striking the curb and breaking his axle. Very dangerous area to have such a bad roadway. I continue to see the county filling these, but two days later its back to where it was. It's obvious they are aware of the problem, it is just never fixed the proper way. Why waste time filling them when in two days they are back to where they were. MILL IT and PAVE IT!!!! The photo is just a small section.

And it still continues.
Folks - it's the STATE that has responsibility for this disaster. Once someone dies here - and an attorney can point to this page showing the state WAS aware of the problem and ignored it - then they might do something. It will take that sort of terrible thing happening to fix what's been a nightmare for years.
Besides reporting it here - you can report it directly to the NJDOT: http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/commuter/potholeform.shtm
And what's interesting - they also have directions on submitting a damage claim if your car has been damaged.. and I'm sure some have been:
I quote: "Safety issues are our first priority. For a pothole damage claim, please contact the Department of Treasury's Office of Risk Management at 609-984-7294."
Perhaps if a few hundred of us who are forced to travel over this disaster every day sent bills to the Office of Risk Management - or made some phone calls - they might get off their @#$% and fix it.

They are FINALLY showing signs of repaving this - and the other horrible section of 33/34 past the dirty bookstore. Zowie! Wonders never cease!
Way to go NJDOT..
