MANCHESTER – Colonial Drive will be closed while a sewer line construction project for a new development takes place, officials said.
The work will take about three weeks and is scheduled to start around August 14. During those weeks, both sides will be closed between the Manchester Emergency Medical Services building and Huntington Drive.
Additionally, drivers won’t be able to use the Route 37 westbound exit ramp to Colonial.
If you want to get to the municipal complex or the library, you must go west on 37 past Colonial to the Lakehurst Circle. Take the circle all the way around to go east on 37. You can then use the Route 37 exit ramp to Colonial Drive to cross over Route 37 to access the buildings.
Exiting from Leisure Village from Huntington Drive access from Route 70, drivers will need to turn left on Route 70 west at the intersection with Colonial Drive then travel west to the Lakehurst Circle. They must then head east on Route 37 and use the Colonial Drive exit ramp.
Access will also be limited to the TD Bank to Route 37 westbound only.
The same detour routes also apply for access to the Manchester High School and the Manchester Township Elementary School.
There will be road signs explaining the changes to tell drivers how to proceed.
Anyone with questions is urged to contact the Traffic Safety Office 732-657-2009 Ext 4400 or Police Dispatch at 732-657-6111.
