Heads up Monmouth County! New construction will lead to detours and road closures

There is some construction about to get underway in Monmouth County and by the time it's done, it'll be something that benefits both pedestrians and drivers.

Monmouth County Commissioners announced that construction is set to get underway next week, around January 23, by the Monmouth County Department of Public Works & Engineering Department.

It'll get going along Monmouth County Route 12A and Navesink River Road and feature roadway improvements as well as a new pedestrian path on the northern part of Huber Woods Park.

During this time period of construction upcoming, Navesink River Road will be closed and detoured on and off for about two weeks -- from January 23 to February 5 and then again in early April under the same circumstances with road closures and detours.

All in all, the project is set to be finished by the end of May.

“The construction of the roadway improvements will occur in three stages to avoid unnecessary delays and disruptions to the area,” Monmouth County Commissioner Director Tom Arnone, liaison to the Public Works & Engineering Department, said in a written statement. “We appreciate residents' and visitors’ patience as this project begins and remind all vehicular traffic to follow the arranged detours.”
