Updated: Road Closures in Montville

Heavy rains cause flooding, closing local roads, parts of Route 46 in surrounding towns.

 

From the Montville Township website:

As a result of the heavy rains from Hurricane Irene, some local rivers and streams started to flood, closing some roads in our area.  If you are looking for information regarding road closings, the township will be regularly updating this website to make that information available.

The following status is as of 4:20 p.m. on Monday.

Currently, the only routes out of Montville to the south are Changebridge Road following the Gathering Rd / Konner Ave / Woodmont Rd detour and Route 287 South from Route 202

The following roads in town are closed:

    • Church Lane near River Road
    • River Road between Vreeland Ave and DPW Garage at 143 River
    • Changebridge Road between Stiles Lane and Woodmont Road
    • Hook Mountain Road
    • Horseneck Road at Pine Brook Rd/Hook Mountain Rd intersection (local traffic only from Changebridge Road)
    • Lancaster, Normandy and Sheffield Roads
    • Buckingham Circle

                  I don't yet know when that would be. The JCP&L outage reporting line is: 888-544-4877. JCP&L told the town they were not planning to dispatch crews until the storm calmed down.
