A new traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of Route 31 and Ingleside Drive, Mayor Courtney Peters-Manning has announced.
The project, overseen by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, is scheduled to begin with site mobilization for underground electrical work on or about Sept. 20.
The township says that following the initial underground work, DOT will move forward with concrete placement, roadway striping and above-ground electrical installation. The project is expected to take several months to complete.
The intersection has previously been controlled by a flashing yellow beacon, requiring drivers to yield. The aim of installing a full traffic signal is to improve traffic flow and reduce collisions at the intersection.
“The safety of our residents is always our top priority,” Peters-Manning said in a statement. “Installing a traffic light at this intersection will make an immediate and lasting difference in protecting drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists traveling through our community.”
