Kings Hwy. Traffic Light Still Out As Of Friday Morning

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — A series of fast-moving thunderstorms knocked out the electricity for some Middletown residents Thursday night.

As of 10:30 a.m. Friday, there are still pockets of power outages in Leonardo; along Red Hill Road; near Croydon Hall School; in Red Bank and in the area of Kings Highway/Church Street in Middletown, according to JCP&L.

The traffic light at the intersection of Kings Highway/Church Street is still out and a Middletown police officer is instead directing traffic there, said Middletown Police.

That is a major intersection. The traffic light should be back up and functioning by 1 p.m., said JCP&L.

In total, 109 customers in Middletown lost power in Thursday's storm, less than one percent of all of JCP&L's Middletown customer base.

Marlboro was much harder hit: Up to 1,500 customers still remain without power Friday morning in the Morganville section of Marlboro.
