Natural Gas Pipeline Work Set For Mantoloking Road In Brick

BRICK, NJ — Mantoloking Road drivers, buckle up and bring your patience: a natural gas main replacement project that is anticipated to take two years is scheduled to begin Monday.

Brick Township police said New Jersey Natural Gas will be starting with the portion from the Ocean County Utilities Authority property to the Mantoloking Bridge. That portion, which is east of the Adamston Road intersection, is anticipated to be finished by June.

"The first two phases will, at times, involve an alternating traffic pattern," the police department said. "The construction zone will be limited so as to prevent disruptions of traffic as much as possible."

"We ask for everyone to add extra time to your commute and be patient with officers and construction workers," police said.
