WOODBRIDGE, NJ — This week, Woodbridge was one of hundreds of towns across the state to receive municipal aid grants for local road repairs from the state Department of Transportation.

Woodbridge was notified on Tuesday, Dec. 3 that the town had received a $549,912 grant from the DOT's municipal aid program, said town spokesman John Hagerty.

The money will be used for the milling and paving of Homestead Avenue.
