• Road Construction Update (ewingnj.org) — Drivers in Ewing should prepare for resurfacing on Spruce Street at the Ewing–Lawrence boundary from Princeton Avenue to Arctic Parkway starting October 8, 2026. Work will run weekdays during daytime hours for about 10 business days, with detours guiding traffic around the Farmers Market area and tying into a later sidewalk and curbing improvement project.
