NJDOT plans roadway rehabilitation on Route 82 and Route 124 in Springfield and Union

(Trenton)- Commissioner Kris Kolluri today announced that the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) will resurface Routes 82 and 124 in Springfield and Union in Union County.

“Union County’s roadways are among the busiest and highly traveled in New Jersey,” said Commissioner Kolluri. “NJDOT is committed to maintaining and preserving its highways for Union County businesses as well as its residents.”

Starting May 5, 2008, NJDOT will temporarily close one lane daily while maintaining one lane in each direction on Route 82/Morris Avenue from Route 124/Springfield Avenue to Cooke Drive from the Raritan Valley Railroad line to Warren Avenue. NJDOT also will temporarily close one lane daily while maintaining one lane in each direction on Route 124/Morris Avenue from Mountain Avenue to Morris Springfield Avenue.

The lanes will close on Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning. The closures also will be implemented on Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. Sunday lane closures will be scheduled as needed.

The $1.6 million project is slated for completion in July 2008.
