Weather has cooperated so far but paving is very weather dependent, and some streets on this year's schedule may not be resurfaced until 2023 if Mother Nature does not continue to cooperate. Please use caution when driving in work zones and observe all flaggers and signs.  

Portion Of Pulaski Drive Closing August 29

Pulaski Drive, between Cortez Road and Clearview Avenue, will close on August 29 for approximately 10-12 weeks so contractors can replace the existing bridge, which was built in 1960. Crews completed utility relocation prior to the roadway closure. Local residents will have access to their properties throughout construction.

The Township is in contact with the School District to ensure that buses will be able to make all scheduled stops during construction. The initial project was scheduled to be completed over the summer months, but supply chain issues delayed the project.

The total cost of the Pulaski Drive Bridge replacement is $1.6 million and the Township received a grant through the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission which covers 80% of the project.
