Laurel Avenue Shutdown Begins Wednesday Morning

Holmdel, NJ - Laurel Avenue was shut down starting Wednesday morning, as NJ Transit begins its two- to three-month project of repairs on the North Jersey Coast railroad bridge.

Starting Wednesday, Laurel Avenue in Homldel between Rt. 35 and Holland Road has been closed in order for NJ Transit to repair the railroad bridge that crosses over Laurel Avenue. As Patch has reported, that part of Laurel Ave. will be closed for two to three months. Detour routes have been marked out using either Kings Highway in Middletown (by the Sears) or Bethany Road in Hazlet (near K- Mart). Expect traffic delays on both of these detour routes, Hazlet police said. The entrance to AT&T will still be accessible coming from the Van Schoik/Holland Road side, Holmdel police said.
