The first phase of a 1.1 mile milling and paving project has begun on North Passaic Street in Chatham Borough and Florham Park, where curb work is underway. Night paving also has begun on East & West Dewey Avenue and North Main Street in Wharton.

Also, bids have been advertised for work on Quaker Church Road and Randolph Ave in Randolph, the final two 2019 county paving projects, with work expected in late October.

This work is all part of the Board of Freeholders aggressive targeting of some 30 miles of county roads for upgrading this summer and fall. The county roadwork is in addition to local and state road projects.

On the bridge improvement front, work continues on the Crane Road bridge in Mountain Lakes. Bids have been received for the Mill Road Bridge replacement project in Morris Township, and bids have been advertised for the planned East Blackwell Street bridge project in Dover.

In addition, the county expects to move ahead with two more bridge projects this fall: Chestnut Terrace bridge in Rockaway Township and the Waterloo Road bridge at the Netcong and Stanhope border.

We are working hard to keep our commitment to properly maintaining our road and bridge infrastructure in Morris County,'' said Morris County Freeholder Stephen Shaw. We intend to work through the paving season, before the weather turns colder, to complete our list for 2019.''
