ROSTERS pages 2-4

THUNDER ROAD GOLF OUTINGThe annual Thunder Road Golf Outing was held on Monday, June 15. Hundreds of consulting engineers, contractors and officials from the New Jersey Turnpike Authority converged on Forsgate Country Club to compete on the historic Palmer and Banks courses. Beautiful weather and fast greens marked the day, as did a check presentation to Survivors of the Triangle, a charity that supports the families of New Jersey State Troopers killed in the line of duty. The Thunder Road outing was established during the historic Turnpike Widening project as a way to install a sense of teamwork, partnership and camaraderie. The outing continues, more successful than ever, and serves as a reminder of the importance of consultants, contractors and Authority professionals working together to rebuild our State’s infrastructure. ACECNJ is proud to play a role in the ongoing success of this annual event.
