Hamilton Township will receive nearly $488,000 in state transportation aid to pay for the next phase of improvements along Kuser Road.
The funding comes from the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s Municipal Aid Grant Program, announced Nov. 17 by Gov. Phil Murphy.
Hamilton was awarded $487,584 to upgrade Kuser Road between Whitehorse Avenue and Dolci Drive.
Plans call for milling and resurfacing the roadway, replacing about 1,200 linear feet of curbs and 800 square feet of sidewalks, and adding fresh striping.
All crosswalks in the project area will be upgraded to meet ADA standards.
Earlier this year, the township secured an additional $700,000 grant for a separate section of Kuser Road near Route 130.
That project includes a full reconstruction of the traffic signals with updated timing and better visibility, along with new ADA-compliant curb ramps with detectable warning surfaces.
Crews will install upgraded pedestrian push buttons and signal heads, refresh pavement markings, and add clearly defined crosswalks at all approaches.
The work also calls for 800 linear feet of new sidewalk to connect the intersection with existing pedestrian routes along Kuser Road.
“We are excited to announce this additional funding for Kuser Road,” said Mayor Jeff Martin. “These grants help ensure safe roadways for all, especially those with disabilities."
He added: "The more funding we secure, the less our residents need to worry about the impact on property taxes—particularly as the community continues to call for roadway improvements and stronger pedestrian-safety measures.”
