1.1 Miles Of Madison Roadways To Be Paved In 2016

MADISON, N.J. – One of Madison’s most popular roadways will get a nice facelift in 2016 after the Morris County Freeholders approved its annual list of road paving projects.

The region’s governing body released its capital improvement plan for roadways, which includes the milling and paving of 22 miles in Morris County.

The plan calls for 1.1-miles of Central Avenue between Main Street and Ridgedale Avenue to be paved.

The plans did not yet outline start dates or project timetables.

The Freeholders have allocated $3.4 million to put toward the project with an expected $3.9 million anticipated in state funding for a total of $7.3 million.

A total of 16 towns in Morris County will see road improvements under the county’s plan.

“The freeholders understand the importance of properly maintaining the roads in a first-rate county like Morris County,’’ said Freeholder John Cesaro, the county governing board’s liaison on public works and roads. “It’s important to the quality of life for our residents, visitors, and businesses.’’

Morris County oversees the maintenance of 280 miles of roadways in 39 municipalities. The full list of roads to be paved in 2016 is listed above in a photo.
