Updated Road Closure List In Basking Ridge

BASKING RIDGE, NJ —Many roads remain closed and impassable due to trees or wires across the roadway in Basking Ridge Thursday morning following the snow storm.

Here is a list of roads closed as of 4:15 p.m. Thursday, according to Bernards Township Police:

• Lyons Road by Lincroft
• Whitenack Road between Emily and Bernardsville border
• Galloping Hill Road between Mt Airy and Post
• Manchester Drive by Tanglewood
• Dryden Road
• Harrison Brook Drive
• Douglas Road
• Conkling St. near Beechwood
• Lord Stirling Road to Long Hill Twp. Border

Municipal and county public works crew have been working throughout the evening and will be working into Thursday to clear all roadways. Road conditions are improving, however motorists should use extreme caution, police reported.

JCP&L resumed repair operations Wednesday night and are currently working. The number of power outages has significantly increased despite the restorations JCP&L made before the storm. Estimates at this time are upwards of 2,000 customers without power in the township. DPW crews are unable to plow certain areas because of the downed power lines. Please be patient, police reported.

Residents are reminded to never go near any downed power lines. Treat all utility lines as if they were energized. And to also check on neighbors that are elderly or non-mobile.
