I had nothing to compare this cost to. Googling the topic it appears the usual high end for road construction is $8 - $10M per mile in urban areas. Less elsewhere.

That’s still only one fourth of the price of an average light-rail, which is a hundred million per mile.

My Father floated the bond issue for the West Virginia Turnpike. When it was first built, they had to blast through mountains to get from A to B and it was the most expensive road ever built, per mile, at the time.
This road is flat, pre graded , without difficult foundation work to be done.
The cost is ludicrous.

Are any of you critics familiar with the details of the project? Have any of you ever reconstructed a highway in a old, high density population tourist area? Have any of you ever built a road or taken the risks of bidding large public works projects in urban area.
I have, that job is a bear, and the Contractors, Harms, Reid Agate, Reid and Creamer do not do business in the Bada Bing Club.
Your comments make you sound foolish.
And in closing Governor Christie had NO say in who got what, it was strictly based on low bidder wins.

A bit over $5,000/ft.
That’s a bargain for a government project.

The previous road was a joke - pavement over sand. It runs through an area where the decision to build in the first place was highly questionable. Lowest ground and one of the last areas of the Monmouth County shore to be developed. Major naveau an riche area. Wet kiss with Obama allowed the expenditure to happen. There are unfriendliness at the trough gunning for Christie. Not as simple as everyone who has posted so far makes it out to be.

This article is for all those people who didn’t understand why Donald Trump had to use a concrete pouring firm with mafia ties when he built a big building in New Jersey. You’ve never seen so many pockets to be lined as in New Jersey and Philly. I think they are both worse than New York when it comes to graft.
