Union County To Resurface Clark Roadway

SUMMIT, NJ — A total of 18 new miles of Union County roads will be repaved this season in 14 municipalitiesincluding in Summit. Work will begin later this summer.

In Clark, Martine/Lake Avenue from Raritan Road to Oak Ridge Road will be repaved.

“Keeping our roads in top condition ensures our residents and those traveling through our area a safe and enjoyable driving experience,” said Union County Freeholder Chairman Sergio Granados. “Union County is one of the region’s most powerful and effective transportation hubs, and we aim to keep it that way.”

The 2018 Roads Resurfacing program will begin later this summer after the county completes the 2017 Roads Resurfacing program.

The 2018 Road Resurfacing program will cost approximately $7.5 million, with an approximate 50-50 funding split between the County and the State Transportation Trust Fund.

The work will be conducted at night when possible, in order to minimize the need for detours during peak travel periods.
