Pleasant Valley Road – The state continues preparation to turn the 411 acres of the State Hospital Property to the County for a park. The current project on PVR is a continuation of that cleanup. While the State project was on-going the Township decided to use the opportunity to address safety concerns on Pleasant Valley Road. Sloped curbing was installed to provide two feet of extra driving surface and provide more stability along this stretch. To widen the roadway more would have required a multi-year process requiring DEP permitting, moving utility poles, and property acquisition. As the state completes their work on this stretch of the roadway, we will work with them to address other safety concerns prior to the full-width resurfacing. The full 24-hour road closure has been lifted although residents can expect intermittent closures over the next few weeks. We anticipate the resurfacing of Pleasant Valley Road between Conover Road and Mockingbird Lane to occur around mid-October |
