No Through Traffic on Frank Street in Mine Hill; Detour To Be in Place

Following morning rush hour, Frank Street in Mine Hill Township will be closed to through traffic beginning Monday, July 27, for the replacement of the Frank Street Bridge over Shaw's Creek.

The bridge closure will require motorists to follow a signed detour of approximately one-half mile via Dickerson Mine Road, Martin Place, Roxbury Drive and Ward Place. The replacement project is expected to take approximately three months to complete, weather permitting.

The existing bridge, a two-span reinforced concrete oval pipe structure built around 1970, has deteriorated over time. Inspections identified exposed reinforcing steel, movement in one of the reinforced concrete pipe sections and cracking in a headwall, making replacement the most practical long-term solution.

The new bridge structure will consist of a single-cell precast concrete box culvert measuring 8 feet wide and 5 feet, 3 inches deep. The project also includes new precast wing walls and guide rail-mounted railings.

The $613,704.12 project is being completed by Konkus Corporation of Branchburg, N.J. under contract with the County of Morris.
