IRVING STREET TO BE CLOSED BEGINNING SEPT. 6

RAHWAY – Construction activities for the downtown Streetscape Section III-A Project will resume on or about Tuesday, September 6, 2011 and will continue for approximately one (1) to two (2) weeks. Irving Street will be closed at the Union County Performing Arts Center. The road closure will be necessary for the contractor to replace the brick paver crosswalk in front of the Union County Performing Arts Center. While Irving Street will be closed at the Arts Center to through traffic, local vehicular traffic will be permitted from the south to access property below the Arts Center. The sidewalk on both sides of the street will remain open. A detour system of signs & barricaders will be installed on the adjacent streets to guide drivers around this temporary closure.

Once the contractor has replaced the brick pavers the roadway will be reopened, but with periodic lane closures to complete the pavement resurfacing at the traffic signal, Irving Street, Central Avenue and West Main Street.

If you have additional questions on this project, please call the City Engineer at (732) 827-2176.
