Wilson Avenue in Middletown Scheduled for Improvement in 2014

Wilson Avenue is slated to be repaved this year, according to Middletown Township officials.

The Township Committee approved a contract at their September meeting to improve Wilson Avenue, from Cherry Tree Farm Road to Highway 36. The well-traveled road was heavily damaged by natural elements this past winter.

The contract also includes plans for reconstruction of a section of nearby Maple Street, according to Mayor Stephanie C. Murray, who also said that both streets are scheduled to be completed by the year’s end.

The township has additional construction and repairs underway. Liberty Street, located between Conover Avenue and Church Street in Middletown Village, is currently being reconstructed with new pavement and curbs.

The township also has plans for the Hillside section, where the gravel portion of Farview Avenue will be paved, according to Township Engineer Ted Maloney.
