Traffic updates
As you all know the town center in Bernardsville is filled with signs warning of road work to begin today or tomorrow. As you were informed yesterday the back parking area of the library will be a staging zone. That area will be closed at 8 each night so only the Anderson Hill entrance will be available to the public.
Many of you have asked about how your commute to the library will be affected. I have included an email from the town explaining the paving process. It is all being done at night. Therefore, it should not affect daytime travel on the roads through town, but there may be residual lane closures and delays. Please, follow the detour signs, the directions from police directing town traffic and most importantly leave enough time for unexpected delays when coming to work.
Please make sure patrons are aware that we are open and both entrances will be open throughout the day until 8 o'clock. There should be no need for them to make any changes in the way they usually come to the library.
Here is the town information about the road work:
Weather permitting, Nova Crete, Inc. will be milling and paving throughout the project limits from Tuesday night - Friday night, September 30 - October 3.
Milling work will begin Tuesday night at approximately 9:00 p.m. at the Rte. 202/Church Street intersection and will continue until approximately 6:00 a.m.. If necessary, milling work and resetting of manholes, catch basin inlets and utility valve boxes will be performed Wednesday night between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
Paving work will follow on Thursday night beginning at the Claremont/Rte. 202 intersection and proceeding to Olcott Square. Hours of operation will be the same from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m..
