There has been a lot of discussion about the County’s summer’s Schooley’s Mountain Road bridge project. At our project kickoff meeting, I asked the County to hold a public information session meting for people to get information on the project and ask questions.
As I mentioned in my monthly update, on Thursday, May 25th at 7:00PM, Washington Township Officials, in conjunction with the Morris County Engineering Department, will be holding an open public information session at Town Hall, 43 Schooley’s Mountain Road, Long Valley, N.J., for the purpose of discussing the Long Valley Center Schooley’s Mountain Bridge Repair Project.
Information will be presented on the detours, dates, and related project logistics. The project work is scheduled to begin on June 1st with detours beginning on or about June 17th. The meeting is open to the public and no action will be taken. Please attend if you have any questions, concerns, or comments on the project.
