SO Ave will be closed 4/28-4/30

Driving through the s curves today, there is a sign announcing that SO Ave will be closed 4/28-4/30. Plan to take an alternate route. I sure hope that when they pave there (which I realize may not be what they will be doing at that time), they will re-pave Crest Drive.

Crest Drive is a disaster every spring. Seems they could do something more long-lasting.

SOA is a county highway. Crest Dr is a township street. Different responsible parties who rarely coordinate on such actions.

Isn't Crest Drive the road in the Reservation?

Crest drive is not a town road, it's in a county park

There are two parts to Crest Drive. You are both right.

...which sounds like what the rabbi said in the opening scene of Fiddler on the Roof.

My bad! I didn't think about the Crest Dr in the Reservation, only the street in Newstead as part of a potential detour.

Any repairs to the Crest Dr in the Reservation would be from a different pot than the $30 million in partly Federal funds going to the S curves. That project, BTW, has another year to completion.

The project they are doing is huge. Not at all surprised it is going to be another year. I was hoping they might be repaving a bit, and take it into the reservation. The road is truly a disgrace.

I just hope that Glen Road in Millburn will be open consistently. I have gotten trapped in some truly FUBAR traffic after the water main break happened a few weeks ago. 


I'm really dreading this. Traffic has already been rough for the past few weeks. I can't figure out why but SO Ave has been backed up almost every day when I drive home, approaching the JFK Parkway intersection. I don't know what is going to happen when it's closed, except that 24 will be a nightmare.

I know that it's part of a huge project and we have to just deal with closures sometimes. It is what it is but I'm still just pre-emptively bitching about it oh oh
