HOLMDEL, NJ – Motorists in Holmdel Township face significant delays today, Tuesday, November 14th, due to ongoing creek dredging operations by Monmouth County. Crawfords Corner Road, a key thoroughfare, has been reduced to a single lane near Catbird Alley to facilitate the work. The lane closure has prompted the implementation of an alternating traffic pattern, leading to anticipated delays along Crawfords Corner Road.
In addition to the lane closure, local authorities have shut down Catbird Alley between Crawfords Corner Road and Cardinal Road. The Holmdel Township Police Department advises residents and commuters to expect disruptions throughout the day and to plan their travel accordingly. The dredging work, critical for maintaining the creek’s flow and health, is part of a broader initiative by Monmouth County to enhance local waterways.
Drivers are urged to seek alternate routes where possible and to exercise caution when navigating the affected areas. The township has not specified a completion time for the day’s activities, but efforts are underway to minimize the impact on local traffic. Updates on the situation will be provided as more information becomes available.
