Work On Final Sections Of Route 206 Hillsborough Bypass To Begin

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Work on the final phase of the Route 206 Hillsborough Bypass project will begin Friday night.

The work on the final sections of the bypass will begin at 9:30 p.m. and continue until 7 a.m. on Saturday.

A temporary alternating traffic pattern will be set up to allow for the re-striping of Route 206 and create a work zone next to the southbound lane of Route 206. Partial lane and shoulder closures on Route 206 are needed to create the work zone, according the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

Flagmen will be set up on Route 206 to direct traffic between Hamilton Road and Opie Road. The traffic shift will move vehicles onto the eastside of the road to allow for utility relocations, grading, drainage, basin upgrades, milling and paving. The temporary traffic pattern is expected to remain in place until late 2018, NJ DOT reported.

Later this spring, an alternating traffic pattern will be setup on the southern end of the project limits between the bridge over Pike Run and Pierson Drive.
