SOUTH BRUNSWICK TO BEGIN ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS ON DUNDEE ROAD (STILLWELL ROAD TO 27 DUNDEE) AND RITTER ROAD

Construction scheduled to begin April 27; project will include major infrastructure and roadway upgrades

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — South Brunswick Township will begin comprehensive roadway improvements on Dundee Road and Ritter Road today, Monday, April 27, 2026, weather permitting. Work will begin on Ritter Road. The Township was awarded $386,260 in NJDOT Municipal Aid grant funding for this project.

Residents were notified last week of the upcoming construction.

This Township-led project reflects continued investment in maintaining and improving critical infrastructure, including upgrades to sanitary sewer systems, potable water mains, drainage facilities, and full roadway reconstruction.

Construction will take place Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. During work hours, roads will be closed to through traffic; however, local traffic and emergency vehicles will be permitted access.

Motorists are advised that traffic patterns will change throughout the duration of the project and are strongly encouraged to slow down, use caution, and remain alert when traveling through active construction zones. Flaggers and construction signage will be in place where necessary to ensure safety for both workers and the traveling public.

“South Brunswick continues to make strategic investments in infrastructure that directly improve safety, reliability, and quality of life for our residents,” said Mayor Charlie Carley. “While this work will require temporary adjustments for drivers, the long-term benefits of safer roads and upgraded utilities are significant and lasting.”

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The roadway improvements will be completed in multiple phases, including:

• Sanitary sewer system upgrades, including new mains and connections
• Potable water system improvements, including new mains, hydrants, and services
• Drainage and underdrain improvements
• Full replacement of curb, sidewalk, driveway aprons, and ADA handicapped ramps
• Roadway reclamation and installation of a new asphalt surface
• Final restoration and striping of roadway

Work will proceed in a phased manner to minimize disruption while ensuring safe and efficient completion of all utility and roadway improvements.

South Brunswick Township thanks the public for its continued patience and cooperation as these necessary infrastructure improvements are completed.

MILLING AND PAVING SET TO BEGIN ON SIX SOUTH BRUNSWICK ROADWAYS

Work starts on or about April 20 following completion of PSE&G utility upgrades

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — Milling and paving will begin on or about April 20, 2026, on six township roadways that were affected by recent PSE&G utility work. The Township will restore and resurface the following streets:

• Brandt Road
• Kingsley Road
• Dawson Road
• Darrow Court
• Shelley Road (remainder)
• Kendall Road (remainder)

“Residents on these streets have been patient while PSE&G completed their upgrades, and they deserve roads that are better than they were before,” said Mayor Charlie Carley. “That’s exactly what this project will deliver.”

What Residents Should Expect

During active construction, residents and motorists in the affected areas may encounter lane closures, temporary parking restrictions, and brief delays. Residents on the affected streets will be notified in advance of any access limitations.

Motorists are urged to slow down in work zones and follow all posted signage and flagging personnel.

For questions or to report a concern related to this project, contact South Brunswick Township Public Affairs Coordinator Jennifer Poppy at 732-329-4000 x7275.
