IMPORTANT NOTICE

Dear Pretty Brook Road Area Residents:

Princeton Township's contractor, Top Line Constnlction, is scheduled to begin work in connection with the Pretty Brook Road Improvement Project on Monday, August 28th. This project is planned to be completed in two (2) phases.

PHASE I

During Phase I of the work, which should last for 2-3 days, the underlying layer of road pavement will be repaired as necessary. Also during this phase of the work, the intersection of Provinceline Road and Pretty Brook Road will be paved. You should expect to be delayed for up to several minutes at a time, as this work proceeds. The final surface course of pavement will be constructed under Phase II following the completion of the Phase I work.

One lane of alternating traffic will be maintained on Pretty Brook Road, as the Phase I repair work is completed. You should expect brief delays during the working hours, which will generally be 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. The road will be re-opened to full two-way traffic after 5:00 pm each day and over the weekends.

PHASE II

The Phase II road resurfacing work is anticipated to take two (2) days to complete as shown on the map (click here for map) and is anticipated to begin with DAY I final paving on Wednesday, August 30th.

During these two (2) days, if you live in the following locations you should plan on getting to and from your home as follows:

DAY 1

PRETTY BROOK ROAD WILL BE CLOSED BETWEEN PROVINCELINE ROAD AND WINDERMERE WAY.

  • Stuart Road West/Stuart Close/Finley/Pheasant Hill
    Proceed to Cleveland Lane in Hopewell via Provinceline/Pheasant Hill/Stuart Roads.

  • Cradle Rock/Running Cedar/Katies Pond (Rushbrook)
    Park your car on Brooks Bend - you will then be able to proceed to Great Road via Pretty Brook Road. Alternatively, you may prefer to park on Stuart Road West following the directions above (to gain access to your vehicle, you may use the walkway through the wooded area, as shown on the attached plan).


  • Brooks Bend Proceed to Great Road via Pretty Brook Road.

  • Winderemere/Grasmere/Derwent Proceed to Great Road via Pretty Brook Road.

  • Pretty Brook Road Residents Park your car on Pheasant Hill Road or Brooks Bend and proceed as indicated above.

DAY 2

PRETTY BROOK ROAD WILL BE CLOSED BETWEEN GRASMERE WAY AND THE GREAT ROAD

  • Brooks Bend Proceed to Cleveland Road in Hopewell via Pretty Brook Road.

  • Winderemere/Grassmere/Derwent Proceed to Cleveland Road in Hopewell via Pretty Brook Road.

    Park your car on Brooks Bend, Coniston Court or North Road and proceed as indicated above


During the Phase II of paving, if you live in Rushbrook or along Pretty Brook Road you should remove your vehicles to side streets as indicated above prior to 7AM as access will be restricted during work hours, but will be restored upon the completion of the work.

After the paving of the surface course of the roadway, residents will be prohibited from using the road for a 2-hour period up until approximately 8 P.M. This restriction will prevent permanent marring of the blacktop during its "curing period". Residents will then be allowed to return to their driveways once the road is opened.

Please note that the paving work is weather dependent. In the case of inclement weather or equipment breakdown, the work will proceed the following day exclusive of the Saturday, Sunday and Monday of Labor Day weekend.
