Notice of Road Work
Please take notice that DENOW ROAD from Van Brunt Road to NJSH Route 31 is scheduled to be resurfaced by the Township of Hopewell. Work is scheduled to begin on or about Thursday, June 26, 2025, 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. Access to local properties, local businesses, USPS, garbage trucks and school buses will be permitted during the work. The work is anticipated to be completed by August 9, 2025.
Portions of concrete curb, concrete sidewalk, ADA ramps and paved walkway will be replaced as required. Sidewalks, ramps and paths will be closed during this work.
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. Residents and local patrons can expect minor delays during this work. Please follow the contractor’s personnel directions, Police Department 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. These repairs will be made in isolated areas. Local resident and local patron access is unlimited during this work. Minor delays should be anticipated. Please follow the contractor’s personnel directions, Police Department directions 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 and local patrons. Local residents and local patrons can expect delays of up to 30 minutes depending on weather and other conditions. Contractor personnel and police on-site will help direct you during these restrictions. Refrain from walking pets on newly placed pavement for at least 24 hours.
The road will be passable for local residents, local patrons, USPS, emergency vehicles, garbage trucks and school buses ONLY. All through traffic should follow posted detour routes.
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 Richard T. Barrett Paving thank you in advance for your cooperation during these much needed improvements.
