Paving Will Disrupt Hooper Ave At Kettle Creek Road: Officials

TOMS RIVER, NJ — Motorists traveling in the area of Hooper Avenue and Kettle Creek Road should expect delays on Tuesday night due to a paving project, officials said.

The paving at the interesection is the final stage of work done to replace a water main at the site, officials with Suez Water said. The water company said its contractor, CRJ, will be doing final paving over water main work, with paving beginning about 8 p.m. and lasting until roughly 5 a.m. Wednesday.

During the work, one lane will be open in each direction on Hooper Avenue, but traffic from west to east through the intersection will be shut down and detoured. Westbound traffic from Kettle Creek will be detoured south on Larch Road then west to Oak Hill Road to Hooper Avenue.

"Suez apologizes for the inconvenience and thanks its customers for their patience during the night-time work," the company said.
