Livingston Potholes: W. Hobart Gap Road Gets Repaving Effort From Essex County

Livingston, NJ – Livingston motorists tired of potholes in the municipality may soon have a smoother ride.

According to Livingston town officials, Essex County workers were in the municipality earlier this week repairing one of the township’s most pockmarked streets: West Hobart Gap Road.

“Livingston has the highest number of county roads in any town in Essex County,” township officials stated on the municipal Facebook page.

“The county DPW must handle any issues on Essex County roads,” town officials stated. “If you know of potholes or problems on county roads, let the county know.”
