A railroad crossing rehabilitation project has closed a portion of Meeker Road through June 22, 2016.
BERNARDSVILLE - Work to rehabilitate a railroad crossing will close a portion of Meeker Road from Thursday to Wednesday, the New Jersey Department of Transportation has announced.
Work was scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. Thursday and continue through 7 p.m. June 22. Meeker Road will be closed between Mine Brook and Pill Hill roads.
The following detours will be in place:
From Meeker Road north of Mine Brook:
- Meeker Road traffic north of Mine Brook will be directed to Route 202 north - Mine Brook Road. Turn right onto Mount Airy Road (Route 525) and make another right onto Pine Hill Road.
From Meeker Road South of Mine Brook:
- Meeker Road traffic south of Mine Brook will be directed to Pill Hill Road. Turn left onto Mount Airy Road (Route 525) and make another left on Route 202 south - Mine Brook Road.
Because of an on-going separate construction project in the vicinity, the exact date of the reopening of Meeker Road will be coordinated with the local authorities. The traffic detour will be coordinated with local police.
The existing crossing will be replaced with new concrete crossings and new asphalt approaches, according to a news release. This project is included within the Department of Transportation's railroad grade-crossing safety program.
