“We worked with the business owners in the Foxmoor Shopping Center on this plan to keep Washington Boulevard open,” said Mayor Dave Fried. “However, this plan will require cooperation and patience from all drivers in the area.”
Starting Monday, the northbound lane of Washington Boulevard, from Union Street to the entrance of the 1 Washington Blvd. complex, will be closed for five days. Between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., all traffic will alternate on the southbound side of Washington Boulevard, with Robbinsville Police officers directing traffic.
After 7 p.m., traffic will be detoured. Signage has been posted in Town Center.
Upon completion of the first phase of sewer construction, the northbound side of Washington Boulevard from Route 33 to Union Street will be closed from approximately 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. During those hours, the southbound lane will be converted to two-way traffic, separated by cones.
Safety concerns caused the Township to consider closing Washington Boulevard during construction. Earlier this year, while another section of Washington Boulevard was being resurfaced, a motorist hit a Robbinsville police officer. The officer has since returned to work.
“This traffic plan balances the concerns of the business owners with the safety concerns of our officers. After the incident earlier this year, we will have no patience for those who disobey our officers and put them at risk,” Fried said. “This project will ultimately benefit every taxpayer, and the temporary inconvenience is well worth it.”
