The Little Ferry Circle is a traffic circle connecting U.S. Route 46 and Bergen Turnpike in Little Ferry, New Jersey.[1]
The circle was originally constructed in 1933. The circle was largely reconstructed in 1985, allowing vehicles travelling on Route 46 to pass directly through the circle.[1]
The circle has been a constant site of accidents, with 40-50 accident per year at the circle each year from 2004 through 2006.[1]
In March 2007, the New Jersey Department of Transportation proposed its latest plan to address issues at the circle. The plan would realign the circle into a straight intersection, complete with turning lanes; prohibit left turns onto many residential streets; and would include construction of a pump station to move water off the oft-flooded highway and into the Hackensack River.[2][1]
