Water Main Replacement To Continue Next Few Weeks In New Providence

NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ — The water main replacement project on Central Avenue in New Providence will continue over the next few weeks as it progresses toward the business area in between South Street and Pearl Street, police reported.

Currently, the work is being done during the daytime on Central Avenue in between Springfield and Fairview.

To alleviate traffic concerns the work will shift to the overnight hours. Work during these hours will reduce the impact on local businesses, while updating this critical infrastructure.

Following the shit, work will stay on Central Avenue, but be done in the section in between Coppola's, Berkeley Aquatic, CR Bard and the Balcolm Road entrance to New Providence High School.

Detours will be posted when the work begins. The road should be opened before the start of the school rush hour, New Providence Police stated.
