NJ highway access restoration bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
When you build or modify a driveway or street that ties into a New Jersey state highway, the NJ Department of Transportation can condition the access permit on a restoration bond — a guarantee that you will restore the disturbed right-of-way. NJDOT sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the restoration bond actually covers
New Jersey regulates connections to state highways through the State Highway Access Management Code (N.J.A.C. 16:47). Before you build a new driveway or street, or modify an existing access point, you apply to NJDOT for an access permit — and the Department can require a bond as a condition of that permit.
The bond is a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to restore the portion of the state highway right-of-way disturbed by your access work — pavement, drainage, shoulders, and the like — to the condition NJDOT requires. NJDOT sets the amount based on the scope of the work, so it is not a single statutory figure.
If you fail to restore the area, NJDOT can recover against the bond to have the work done — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you; it is the Department's assurance that the public road is put back right.
