Colonial Lake Shoreline Restoration Project Begins In Lawrence Township

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ - Lawrence Township has begun an important environmental restoration initiative at Colonial Lake, with construction crews beginning work on Sept. 4 to improve the shoreline landscaping and enhance water quality.

Contractors are expected to complete the comprehensive restoration work within 30 days, targeting early October for project completion. Pavement removal will begin on Sept. 5.

The restoration effort focuses on improving the ecological health of Colonial Lake through strategic shoreline improvements that will benefit water quality for years to come.

During the construction period, residents should expect some limitations to their usual recreational activities around Colonial Lake. The most significant impact will be restricted pedestrian access to the trail located behind Colonial Bowling and Entertainment.

Access limitations will primarily occur during working hours when construction crews are on-site. Township officials encourage residents to plan alternative walking and recreation routes during the 30-day construction window.
