The emergency sewer repair at Alexander and Wallace roads will last longer than originally expected. The work, first planned to be completed by August 3, will now block off the roads until at least Tuesday, August 7, according to West Windsor Township.##M:[more]##
Detour signs will remain posted at the intersections of North Post Road, Clarksville Road and Route 571. Travelers can still access the Alexander Road Bridge from North Post Road. Those traveling from Route 571, westbound on Alexander Road are being diverted to Wallace Road before reaching the bridge over the railroad tracks.
The Alexander Road Bridge, located next to the sanitary sewer repair site, remains open while it is undergoing repairs. Ground was broken on the bridge replacement project on June 30 by Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh, County Executive Brian Hughes, Council President Will Anklowitz and New Jersey Department of Transportation officials.
The project is expected to take 18 months to complete. The bridge will remain open until next summer, when it is expected to close for three months before it reopens with wider lanes and a roundabout assisting the traffic flow at the intersection of Alexander and North Post roads.
