This week, the borough also completed the paving and milling of Hoffman Road, Bowers Drive, Mountainside Road East, Mountainside Road West and Cherry Lane. That project was a part of the Mendham Borough Capital Improvement program for streets and roads.

Be aware that after milling, manholes, water shutoffs, and stormwater basins will be exposed. In the meantime, officials have asked motorists to slow down and avoid the cones while the borough paints and places them.
