5 Roads Slated To Be Repaved In Chatham Township This Week

CHATHAM, NJ — The Chatham Township Committee recently allocated $500,000 in capital funds for roadwork, which will impact five township roads.

The 2023 Road Resurfacing Project, which will greatly improve the infrastructure and quality of life for Chatham residents, began late last week, following the adoption of Ordinance 2023-07 and Resolution 2023-154 on July 18, 2023.

A contract has since been awarded to Schifano Construction Corporation through the Morris County Cooperative Pricing Council in accordance with the approved resolution.

This $447,000 contract covers the resurfacing of School Avenue, Thornley Avenue, Maple Street, Floral Street, and Spring Street.

"This investment in our Township's infrastructure underscores our commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of our residents. We understand the temporary inconvenience that road resurfacing can bring, but we are confident that these upgrades will greatly enhance the driving experience and overall safety in our community," Mayor Ashley Felice said.

The first phase of the project, which included milling, took place last Thursday and Friday, according to officials.

The preliminary schedule for the resurfacing project is as follows:

• Paving:
  • Thursday, Aug. 3
  • Friday, Aug. 4

According to the township, this schedule is provisional and subject to change based on weather conditions. Full road closures are proposed during this time, but residents will have limited access during the milling phase.

For further information or inquiries about the project, residents can contact the Project Engineers from Mott MacDonald, Samantha Anello at 908-238-5032, or John Ruschke at 908-238-5000.

"The Township of Chatham appreciates your understanding and cooperation as we work towards these important improvements. We ask all residents to heed traffic directions and signs for their safety and the safety of the road crews," officials said.
