Montville Road Paving Projects To Last 1 Month

Morris county started emergency repairs to the bridge on Church Lane on Friday. The repairs, which are between the new Animal Shelter at 7 Church Lane and the Board of Education offices / Montville Fire Department building at 86 River Road, will last for four weeks.  Church Lane will be closed to all traffic in both directions at the bridge, so use the detours on Millers Lane or River Road.

There will be multiple milling and paving projects in September as well throughout the township. With these projects, one lane of the affected roads will be kept open with alternating traffic.  Montville Police Department will direct traffic and although the township does not have exact dates that each street will be worked on because of weather and other factors, the work was scheduled to start this past Wednesday and will last about two weeks.
