Road Work Begins In Mendham Borough Monday: See The Details

MENDHAM BOROUGH, NJ — Heads up, drivers! Officials in Mendham Borough posted information about a milling and paving project that will begin Monday.

Milling is scheduled to begin June 10 along Bliss Road and Pleasant Valley Road, and continue until Wednesday (weather permitting). Paving work is scheduled to begin shortly thereafter, officials added. Construction work normally begins at 7 a.m.

One lane of traffic will be maintained through the construction, though there may be instances throughout the day when a street will need to be closed.

The borough's Department of Public Works will try to keep travel disruptions to a minimum, officials said.

This project is part of the 2024 Mendham Borough Capital Improvement Program for local streets and roads. Riverview Paving is the crew on this project, which was contracted through the Morris County Co-Op.

Anyone with questions may contact the Department of Public Works at 973-543-6535 weekdays between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Officials provided the following information for nearby residents:

• Construction work normally begins at 7 a.m. (crews and trucks arrive earlier)
• Please do not park on the street while the construction crew is working in your area.
• If you need to enter or exit your driveway or neighborhood and the construction crew is present, please wait for either a Riverview Paving employee or a DPW employee to assist you.
• One lane of traffic will be maintained throughout the construction. There may be instances throughout the day when the need arises to block the street for short periods of time. These will be kept to a minimum.
• After milling has taken place, please be aware that manholes, water shut offs and storm water basins will be exposed. We will paint and place cones in these locations. Please slow down and go around the cones.
• Your street will be milled for a few days before being paved. The paving crew can only work in dry weather. If we experience prolonged wet weather, your street may stay milled longer than expected.
