Hudson County has won a $3 million grant to make roadway improvements to a stretch of Kennedy Boulevard on Jersey City's West Side.

The grant, awarded by the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority, will go toward replacing traffic signals at 16 intersections, pedestrian countdown signals, speed alert signs and other improvements on Kennedy Boulevard between Communipaw and Sip avenues.
