Trail running from New Brunswick to Trenton; and the Jersey Link, running from Hightstown to Ocean
70_72
Grove. These routes were incorporated in 1916 into two new routes: New Jersey Route 1 in parts of
70_73
the road south of Hightstown, and Route 7 from Hightstown to its terminus at Route 71. Both roads
70_74
were changed into Route 33 in the 1927 New Jersey state highway renumbering.
70_75
Route 33 was originally planned as a freeway from U.S. Route 1 in Trenton across New Jersey to
70_76
Route 18 in Neptune. However, in 1967, the NJDOT scaled back proposals to the current seven-mile
70_77
(11 km) Freehold Bypass. The bypass from near County Route 527 in Manalapan to Halls Mills Road in
70_78
Freehold was completed and opened in segments from 1971 to 1988; however, the remainder of the
70_79
bypass east to Fairfield Road in Howell was not completed until 2003. The project cost $33.7
70_80
million in 2003 USD.
70_81
The Route 33 bypass has three abandoned segments. The first of these is the cloverleaf ramp from
70_82
Route 79 southbound to the Route 33 freeway eastbound. It has been mostly destroyed, to make way
70_83
for a new reverse jughandle for U.S. Route 9 northbound to Schanck Road. The merging part of the
70_84
ramp still remains abandoned along the right side of the eastbound freeway.
70_85
The original alignment for the freeway east of Halls Mills Road (CR 55) can be seen now as an NJDOT
70_86
maintenance shed. The new alignment curves to the left after the interchange, in order to avoid
70_87
what the NJDOT believed to be a suspected (but never identified) turtle bog habitat. The pavement
70_88
is accessible from the eastbound on-ramp, but is fenced off.
70_89
Howell Road was never given access from Route 33 eastbound and thus the ramp still remains
70_90
barricaded off, slowly decaying.
70_91
Up until late 1988, Route 33 westbound ran underneath US 130, then merged with 130's southbound
70_92
lanes. This was because Route 33 ran parallel to Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) Camden & Amboy route
70_93
at that point, requiring a massive concrete overpass. (Route 33 eastbound also ascended the bridge
70_94
approach about halfway before branching off like an exit ramp—a sign with flashing lights read
70_95
"Hightstown, Shore Points" at the fork.) PRR abandoned the Hightstown–Windsor segment in 1967,
70_96
reducing the importance of the hulking bridge. NJDOT eventually demolished the crumbling structure
70_97
in 1989, with its approaches flattened to grade. Route 33 now meets US 130 at the north end of the
70_98
multiplex with a traffic signal.
70_99
A similar bridge carried Route 33 over the same PRR (now Conrail Shared Assets Operations [CSAO])
70_100
line further south in Robbinsville. NJDOT replaced the overpass with a wider, linear roadway in
70_101
2009. As the CSAO line was dormant, no railroad street crossing was installed. Trackage was
70_102
dismantled two years later in 2011 in between Robbinsville and Windsor.
70_103
In 2001, the Freehold Bypass was designated as the Theodore J. Narozanick Highway.
70_104
Until 2003, the 33/130 junction in Robbinsville was configured as an at-grade wye interchange,
70_105
employing curved ramps for the directional movements. The junction has since been modified to a
70_106
signalized intersection with ordinary turning lanes. It has also been converted from a
70_107
T-intersection to a 4-way, with the construction of a new road on the southeast side of US-130.
70_108
On December 31, 2006, the Turnpike Authority released its proposals regarding Interchange 8. The
70_109
old Interchange 8 was to be demolished and replaced with a new interchange. The new Exit 8 would
70_110
end at the intersection with Route 33, Milford Road, and the 133 bypass (on the east side of the
70_111
expressway, instead of the west). This new Exit 8 would grant direct access to the bypass (without
70_112
going through any traffic lights), as well as to 33, using grade-separated interchanges. The new
70_113
toll gate was to feature a total of 10 lanes at the new facility. The new interchange opened in
70_114
January 2013.

Major intersections Business route
70_116
Route 33 Business is a short state highway in New Jersey that is the original alignment of Route 33
70_117
before a freeway was built as a bypass of Freehold. This business route stretches through
70_118
Manalapan Township, Freehold Township, Freehold Borough and Howell Township. The highway holds the
70_119
distinction of being the only business route state highway in all of New Jersey.
70_120
Route 33 Business begins at the interchange with Route 33, its parent route, in Manalapan Township,
70_121
New Jersey. A short distance after, the interchange from Route 33 eastbound merges into Route 33
70_122
Business, and the route passes to the south of Monmouth Battlefield State Park and enters Freehold
70_123
Township. Soon after entering the borough of Freehold, Route 33 Business interchanges with U.S.
70_124
Route 9. Route 33 Business turns to the southeast, passing to the north of Freehold Raceway. A
70_125
short distance later, Route 33 Business intersects at a traffic light with New Jersey Route 79
70_126
(South Street) in downtown Freehold. At the intersection with Fairfield Road, Route 33 Business
70_127
enters the interchange with Route 33 and the freeway, where the designation terminates.
70_128
Route 33 Business originates as an alignment of Route 33, designated across the state in the 1927
70_129
New Jersey state highway renumbering as a replacement to Routes 1 and 7, which were assigned in the
70_130
1920s. The route remained intact for several decades, continuing as the proposals for the crosstown
70_131
Route 33 Freeway during the 1960s were drawn up. The new Route 33 Freeway was to be long, starting
70_132
at U.S. Route 1 in Trenton, crossing through Princeton and into Hightstown, where it would connect
70_133
with the current-day New Jersey Route 133, heading eastward, where it would connect with the
70_134
unbuilt Driscoll Expressway in Freehold. The freeway would continue, interchanging with the Garden
70_135
State Parkway near Exit 100 in Neptune and terminate at the Route 18 freeway in Neptune. However,
70_136
the next year, the New Jersey Department of Transportation had to scale down the project to a new
70_137
bypass of Freehold, and prevent the congestion of traffic through the borough. Design studies began
70_138
that year, and the entire bypass was constructed during the 70s and 80s, with most of the freeway
70_139
finished in 1988. This new bypass was designated as Route 33 Bypass from 1965 until Route 33 was
70_140
re-aligned off the local roads onto the new freeway in 1990, which at that time, Route 33 Business
70_141
was designated on the former alignment.

A superspreading event (SSEV) is an event in which an infectious disease is spread much more than
71_1
usual, while an unusually contagious organism infected with a disease is known as a superspreader.
71_2
In the context of a human-borne illness, a superspreader is an individual who is more likely to
71_3
infect others, compared with a typical infected person. Such superspreaders are of particular
71_4
concern in epidemiology.
71_5
Some cases of superspreading conform to the 80/20 rule, where approximately 20% of infected
71_6
individuals are responsible for 80% of transmissions, although superspreading can still be said to
71_7
occur when superspreaders account for a higher or lower percentage of transmissions. In epidemics
71_8
with such superspreader events, the majority of individuals infect relatively few secondary
71_9
contacts.
71_10
SSEVs are shaped by multiple factors including a decline in herd immunity, nosocomial infections,
71_11
virulence, viral load, misdiagnosis, airflow dynamics, immune suppression, and co-infection with
71_12
another pathogen.
71_13
Definition
71_14
Although loose definitions of superspreader events exist, some effort has been made at defining
71_15
what qualifies as a superspreader event (SSEV). Lloyd-Smith et al. (2005) define a protocol to
71_16
identify a superspreader event as follows:
71_17
estimate the effective reproductive number, R, for the disease and population in question;
71_18
construct a Poisson distribution with mean R, representing the expected range of Z due to
71_19
stochasticity without individual variation;
71_20
define an SSEV as any infected person who infects more than Z(n) others, where Z(n) is the nth
71_21
percentile of the Poisson(R) distribution.
