After Fire, Road Work Resumes on Ewing Street

Road work has resumed on Ewing Street, less than a week after the rupture of a pressurized gas line sparked an hours long fire, a fuel spill and evacuation of more than a half dozen homes.

Crews from Top Line Construction are continuing the milling of Ewing Street and installing the base pavement. Work is beginning near North Harrison Street and heading towards Valley Road. 

Road work is being done between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., with the exception of Friday, March 29. Weather permitting, all work is expected to be completed by the end of the day on Monday April 1. 

Top Line Construction Co-owner Steve Castela said last week that a member of his crew accidentally hit the gas line because PSE&G did not mark the utility lines as required. 

PSE&G Kristine Snodgrass spokesman told Patch last week that the street markouts were done but could not confirm when or precisely where they were completed.
