Chambers Street Princeton To be Closed Monday

PRINCETON, NJ — On Monday Chambers Street will be closed to through traffic to prepare the street for the changes in traffic pattern while Graduate Hotel is being constructed, the engineering department said.

Graduate Hotel construction will be starting and the work zone will result Chambers Street becoming one way northbound from Nassau Street to 16 Chambers Street.

Meanwhile, 16 Chambers Street to Hulfish Street will be two-way, for local traffic and for Chambers Street Garage access only, the department said.

This traffic pattern will remain in place for the duration of the hotel construction, which is to last for approximately 18 months.

Here's a map:

• Red Line: One way from Nassau to Hulfish
• Orange Line: Two-way traffic Hulfish to 16 Chambers (Local & Hulfish St. Garage Access Only)
• Green Line: Two-way traffic Paul Robeson to Hulfish

During the April 25 meeting council agreed to the developer's request to make Chamber Street one-way during construction. Although "not pleased" with this development, council members said they were "resigned" to the decision. Read more: Princeton Chamber Street To Be One-Way For Graduate Hotel Construction

Municipal staff and the police department agreed with the hotel's construction team that one-way traffic was imperative to the safety of the public.
