Rd.) announced
(Freehold)
New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner Jack Lettiere
announced that the reconstruction of the Route 9 Bridge over County
Route 522 (Freehold-Englishtown Road) in Freehold Township, Monmouth
County will begin this month. Motorists traveling from Route 9
onto County Route 522 will need to use the following
detour (pdf 46kb) during the reconstruction of the interchange:
-
Route 9 Northbound
traffic will be detoured to County Route 522 via West Main
Street.
-
Route 9 Southbound
traffic will be detoured to County Route 522 via the Route
33 / Park Avenue exit to West Main Street.
-
Through traffic
on Route 9 will NOT be detoured and through traffic on County
Route 522 will NOT be detoured, only traffic getting off
Route 9 onto County Route 522 will be detoured
-
The detour will
go into effect on or about August 15, 2004 and will be in
effect until approximately April 2006.
The construction
project includes replacing the existing Route 9 Bridge over County
Route 522 with a new, wider bridge and improving Route 9, County
Route 522 and the ramps in the vicinity of the bridge.
During construction, two lanes of Route 9 traffic
will be open in each direction, however, one lane may be temporarily
shut down periodically during night-time hours. County Route 522
will have one lane open in each direction, however, one lane may
be closed down for 15 minute intervals during night-time hours,
at which time traffic would be alternated from each direction
on County Route 522. Access from County Route 522 to Route
9 Northbound and Route 9 Southbound will remain open at all times.
