Maplewood Village Sidewalk Construction Schedule Updated

MAPLEWOOD, NJ - Some additional milling and paving work and a longer holiday break has been added to the installation of new sidewalk pavers in Maplewood Village, according to officials.

During the course of the project the Township will advise of any loss of parking spots, and temporary closures of sidewalks and/or vehicular detours. During the project, materials and equipment will be staged in the upper Burgdorff parking lot, resulting in the temporary loss of some parking spots. The Maplewood Police Department will secure the staging area, and assist in any vehicular detours as needed during the project.

The project schedule (subject to change due to inclement weather):

Oct. 8-12 (updated): Contractor will install drainage improvements at the edge of the existing curbing and in the area of the newly-installed bump outs. Contractor will install pavers in the newly constructed bump outs. The road improvements will include the milling and paving of Maplewood Avenue from Durand Road to Lenox Place.

Oct. 17-Nov. 16: Contractor will begin removing the existing pavers and installing new ones. New curbing will be installed as necessary, e.g., to edge the new bump outs. The work will begin on the north end of Maplewood Avenue, in discrete blocks, starting at Durand Road, east to Woodland Road, and continue in this order: on Maplewood Avenue, east on Inwood Place; on Maplewood Avenue east on Highland Avenue; on Maplewood Avenue, east on Baker; finally, Maplewood Avenue south to Lenox Place.

Updated: There will be no construction or sidewalk/street impediments on Halloween and from Nov. 16 through April 1 work will be suspended for the observance of holiday season.

Those with questions or concerns about the project can contact the Maplewood Business Administrator, Sonia Alves-Viveiros, at (973) 762-8120, ext. 2000
