Railroad Crossing Reconstruction In Monmouth County Expected To Cause Traffic, Train Delays

Reconstruction of a railroad crossing in Holmdel may cause traffic delays on township roads, track and platform closures at the Hazlet train station and weekend delays on the North Jersey Coast Line.

The Centerville Road railroad crossing, near Dearborn Farms, in Holmdel will be closed for reconstruction starting on Wednesday. That roadwork is expected to take two weeks to complete.

Centerville Road will be closed between Lavender Road and Wind Hill Way, according to Holmdel police. A detour will be set up on Route 35, Holland Road and Laurel Avenue.

The reconstruction project is also expected to cause track and platform closures at the Hazlet Train Station during off-peak hours Thursday and Friday, according to Hazlet police.

The work may also cause delays of up to 30 minutes on North Jersey Coast Line trains on Saturday and Sunday, according to NJ Transit. Those delays could occur between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on trains running between Long Branch and New York.
