Chapel Road Sewer Repair Begins This Week In Mahwah: What To Know

MAHWAH, NJ — Detour signs have been placed, and sewer repairs are set to kick off on Chapel Road on Monday.

At different points this fall, the project will impact traffic patterns to varying degrees, officials said.

"Starting Monday, September 20th, work will begin on in the area of Chapel Rd. and Fardale Ave. that will require road closures and detours throughout the fall," township officials said.

While this could mean road closures, Mahwah officials have released a set of details that break down what traffic patterns will look like as construction is ongoing.

Here's what to know:

• "Vehicular traffic will be allowed to turn right or left onto Chapel Rd depending on our work location.
• If Contractor were to work on the right side of Chapel Rd at the intersection of Fardale Ave (the side of the baseball field), the parents / local traffic will have access to turning left. The same goes for if we were to work on the left side of Chapel Rd.
• We will have Officers facility the traffic at the intersection of Fardale Ave & Chapel Rd in order to ensure that parents will have a means of egress after dropping of their children at George Washington School.
• This would be organized on a situational basis based off of progress with our work.
• At Feldman Ct. the trench will be excavated at a length of half of the roadway at a time, in order to allow vehicular access. Once the first half is completely excavated, it will be plated with road plates and secured. Excavation will take place at the other end of the trench, where vehicular traffic will flow through the plated section of the trench. After the HDPE is pulled through the opening, we will backfill and pave.
• Busses and Emergency Vehicles will be allowed into Feldman Ct."
