MANCHESTER, NJ – Morningside Street is now closed in both directions from Eighth Avenue to Tenth Avenue and will remain so for the next 2-3 months.
Manchester Police announced the closure earlier today, citing the need to replace an existing culvert adjacent to the Pine Lake Park Clubhouse. The closure will disrupt regular traffic patterns in the area, forcing drivers to seek alternative routes.
Motorists are advised to follow detour signs to Commonwealth Blvd. The police have put up signs to guide traffic and help residents navigate the changes.
Local businesses are aware of the closure and are making necessary adjustments to accommodate the diversion. Residents in the area are encouraged to plan their commutes to account for potential delays.
The project aims to improve water flow and drainage near the Pine Lake Park Clubhouse, which has experienced flooding. The city has not specified an exact date for the completion of the replacement but estimates the work will take between two and three months.
