Construction To Start Soon On New Morristown Public Park

MORRISTOWN, NJ — After years at the drawing board, the public park on Speedwell Avenue may come to fruition soon. Construction will begin next week with an anticipated completion in August, according to town officials.

The park — located behind apartment complex Modera 55 — came to light in 2016. Last October, Town Council approved a $818,000 bid for Ralph Checchio, Inc. to build the park.

Construction will begin on or around Monday, and work will occur between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day. The public won't be allowed onto the property until officials open the park.
