Notice of Road Work
Please take notice that PENNINGTON-ROCKY HILL ROAD from Titus Mill Road to Moores Mill-Mount Rose Road is scheduled to be resurfaced by the Township of Hopewell. Work is scheduled to begin on or about Wednesday, May 15, 2024, weather permitting. The roadway will be closed to through traffic between the hours of 9:30 am and 4:30 pm. A detour route will be posted. Local residents of Pennington-Rocky Hill Road, USPS, garbage trucks, and school buses will be permitted to use the road. The work is anticipated to be completed within two weeks, weather permitting.
Resurfacing will be accomplished by first removing 2” of the existing pavement surface by milling with a milling machine. Driving on milled surfaces is permitted. Local residents can expect minor delays. Please follow the contractor’s directions and all traffic control devices during this work. Use caution around manholes, water valves, ADA ramps, and driveway entrances.
After milling, distressed areas of the base pavement will be repaired in isolated areas. Local resident access is unlimited during this work. Minor delays should be anticipated. Please follow the contractor’s direction and all traffic control devices during this work.
This will be followed by the placement of a new 2” thick layer of hot mix asphalt surface course pavement. During this process there will be limited access for local residents. Local residents can expect delays of up to 1 hour depending on weather and other conditions. Contractor personnel on-site will help direct you during these restrictions. Refrain from walking pets on newly placed pavement for at least 24 hours.
Roads will be open to residents of Pennington-Rocky Hill Road, school buses, emergency vehicles, garbage trucks, and mail vehicles.
Please use caution on milled pavement as there may be loose gravel and irregularities in the surface, and bicycle riding, walking, and running will be challenging.
The Township and Earle Asphalt thank you in advance for your cooperation during these much-needed improvements.
