Road Closures, Detours In Mendham Twp. After Water Main Break Thursday

MENDHAM TOWNSHIP, NJ — Water main work will affect traffic moving through Mendham Township on Thursday, police said.

Crews will be working on Woodland Road, near the post office. Woodland will be closed in both directions from Summit to Main Street.

This will also require police to close down most traffic at the intersection of Main Street, Woodland Road, and Cherry Lane.

As a result: All east bound traffic on West Main will be rerouted up Cherry Lane. All north bound traffic on Cherry Lane will be rerouted westbound onto West Main. No eastbound traffic onto East Main St will be allowed. Westbound traffic on East Main will flow with a lane shift near the post office, and go to either Cherry Lane or West Main Street, since there is no access to Woodland Road.

Police said to plan on the closures and detours being in place until at least 5 p.m. Thursday, "but the hope is that it will be done sooner."

"Please have some patience today, we all would greatly appreciate it!" the post said.
