Montclair Construction Begins: Warman Street, Homewood Way, Wellesley and Overlook Roads

Montclair, NJ – Let the construction begin, Montclair.

Township officials announced that two street construction projects will begin this week, each of which may impact local homeowners and commuters.

The first project is slated to begin in the area of Warman Street and Homewood Way on Monday, March 14. Construction activity will be on the entire length of Warman Street and Homewood Way.

The second project is slated to begin in the area of Wellesley Road and Overlook Road on Tuesday, March 15. Construction activity will be on the entire length of Wellesley Road and Overlook Road.

Both projects will include new granite block curb, as well as concrete driveway aprons and corner handicap ramps as necessary, according to township officials. Each project will also include paving later in this year’s construction season.

No parking will be allowed on the street during the day while construction is in progress, and the street may also be closed to traffic at various times during the day, town officials advised in a news release.

“If you must use your vehicle(s) during the day; it should be removed from your driveway and parked on a side street by 7 a.m.,” officials stated. “Access to your driveway will also be restricted for several days (and nights) while the curb is being installed in front of your property and while the concrete driveway apron is curing. Gas, electric, water will be marked out by the appropriate utility company prior to the start of construction work. Please mark out any private underground sprinklers, invisible fences or other privately installed items prior to construction to avoid damage.”

“If the supervisor [Rob Bianco] is not on site, we ask that you do not approach the contractor but immediately call the Department of Community Services at 973-509-5711,” town officials stated. “The supervisor will contact you by phone and/or return to the job site within a short time.”
