MONGTOMERY, NJ — Great Road (County Route 601) in Montgomery temporarily reopened on Friday through the upcoming holidays.
The road had been closed since Dec. 10 to begin structural repairs on the bridge. It was supposed to remain closed for about two months from south of Georgetown Franklin Turnpike (County Route 518) and north of Cherry Valley Road.
However, Somerset County and the contractor were able to finish structural repairs to allow the bridge to be reopened for the holiday break.
