Road Construction Today Near Central School

Road construction today could make student drop-offs at and the a bit challenging.

Washington Avenue, from Kings Highway East to Lincoln Avenue, will be repaved today, borough officials said. Construction crews will begin at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Kings Highway and work east toward Lincoln Avenue.

Many parents drop off students at the corner of Lincoln and Washington and then make a U-turn on Washington to turn around. They will be able to do that in the morning, but not in the afternoon today.

Motorists will also not be able to make a right turn on to Washington Avenue by early afternoon.

The work is scheduled to be completed Thursday, borough Administrator Sharon McCullough said. The road construction had been delayed this summer by protests over sidewalks that will be installed on parts of Washington Avenue and by rain.
