Warren Avenue track and roadway repairs delayed
by Jennifer Crusco New Jersey Transit has advised Ho-HoKus Borough Administrator Don Cirulli that the Warren Avenue track and roadway repairs slated to for this month will not begin until late summer. In March, New Jersey Transit held a preconstruction meeting with Ho-Ho-Kus officials in anticipation of the two-week repair project the company had planned for an April 1 start. The company subsequently advised that the work would be delayed until April 8, but later advised that the job would be on hold until New Jersey Transit could secure the necessary materials. Cirulli said New Jersey Transit now anticipates the project will begin some time in August. New Jersey Transit plans to replace the section of tracks now located in the Warren Avenue roadway and will repave the street. Cirulli noted that New Jersey Transit had been asked to coordinate its work with Bergen County, which is still in the midst of repairs to the Warren Avenue Bridge. The goal, Cirulli said, was to have New Jersey Transit finish its project while the county was still at work on the bridge. However, given the latest delay, Cirulli said the bridge project will likely be completed before the work on the tracks begins. The Warren Avenue Bridge was closed to all motorists and pedestrians in the fall of 2010 so county crews could begin a complete refurbishment of that structure. Plans had called for that project to be finished at the end of 2010, but winter weather conditions did not allow for certain aspects of the project to be completed, Cirulli said. The county’s crews must pour concrete, paint, and install lights. A county official recently advised the borough that the bridge project should be completed by the end of the spring or the beginning of summer. The bridge refurbishment project involves new reinforcements, resurfacing of the deck, new sidewalks, and new lights. The $1.2 million project is being carried out by the Joseph M. Sanzari Building Cor-
poration. Built in 1905, the Warren Avenue Bridge is a through truss bridge that allows vehicular and pedestrian traffic to cross over the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook on Warren Avenue. The bridge is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
