Work on the Alexander Road S-curve may finally be around the corner, as the Township Council awarded a $769,000 bid for the reconstruction project.
It also approved a $35,000 contract with Remington & Vernick Engineers for professional engineering services for the project during its September 7 meeting.
West Windsor received three bids for the project, ranging from $769,096.50 to $879,269.17, when it opened the bids on July 13. Lucas Construction was deemed the lowest responsible bidder and was awarded the contract.
Township Engineer Francis Guzik said he hopes work on the S-curve can begin by next month.
The project includes widening the road to 38 feet, with one lane of travel and a five-foot bike path in each direction. Features of the new road included elevation of the roadway to create a banking effect, use of high friction pavement, and improved striping and signage. The estimated cost of the project is about $500,000, with $190,000 in funding from a Department of Transportation grant.
The project is estimated to take 60 days to complete.
