Water Main Work To Close Route 166 Three Nights In Toms River

TOMS RIVER, NJ — Motorists driving through Toms River in the evening this week should take note of two projects that will disrupt traffic.

Tuesday, Feb. 13, there will be lane shifts in place on Route 37 west from 8 p.m.to 10 p.m. while crews from SUEZ water work to repair a fire hydrant in front of the Friendly's restaurant at 981 Route 37 West, officials said.

The work is not expected to affect water service or the operation of the restaurant, officials said. Motorists should use caution in the area as there will be workers walking around the site.

Also beginning Tuesday night, and continuing Wednesday and Thursday nights, Route 166 will be closed from Route 37 to Mapletree Road as crews relocate a water main.

The closure will be in place from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. all three nights, police said.

Traffic will be detoured at Mapletree to Hooper Avenue for those needing north-south access.

Use caution in the area.
