With
our ever increasing reliance on the automobile and our
road system, road repair is inevitable.
The
County of Union New Jersey continues to strive in providing
the best possible roads to ensure the motoring public's
safety, convenience and enjoyment. We know the inconvenience
that road repairs bring and we make every effort to complete
them in a timely manner. Any project requiring road closure
will have a clearly marked detour route maintained
by a county work force during hours of work.
In
addition, county residents have this handy web
page to help them anticipate road
closures and plan for alternate
routes and extra travel time when construction affects
them. We
hope you find these pages useful and we thank you for
your cooperation and patience in our endeavor. This
page is designed to inform motorists of current or planned
projects that will affect travel conditions on county
roads.
