Work at Willow Road closing road tonight.
Amwell Road at Willow Road will be closed from about 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. tonight for the ongoing road project, police said. The project to widen Amwell Road between Willow Road and Woods Road, and to add storm sewers, began in January and is expected to take until November. Hillsborough Police issued the notice this afternoon, urging drivers to plan alternate routes through the area.
Delays expected as Route 206 bypass project moves into the next phase.
Motorists on Amwell Road east of Route 206 will face delays on Friday as a new traffic pattern is installed in two phases by the new Route 206 bypass. Traffic will follow a new alignment over a new bridge, and there will be a new traffic signal that will become operational at the intersection of Amwell Road and the service road. Between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Friday, eastbound traffic on Amwell Road between Route 206 and Steinmetz Road will be shifted. One lane will be closed as the new lanes are marked. Between 8 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. Saturday, traffic on Amwell Road will be alternated in each direction between Route 206 and Willow Road in the second phase of the project.

That's a good tip (extra caution by Steinmetz), especially since drivers may be preoccupied with the new traffic pattern. Or still seething from the driver who tried to pass them at the very last minute before construction, as often seems to happen right before Steinmetz. more ›
Blaze shut down portion of roadway Tuesday night.
No one was injured in a residential fire on Amwell Road near Murray Drive Tuesday night. The fire, which broke out at about 8 p.m., closed Amwell Road as fire companies from Hillsborough and Flagtown extinguished the blaze. No one was injured and the fire did not appear to be suspicious, officers on the scene said. The incident was just east of the fire that gutted a historic Amwell Road home adjacent to JML Landscaping in March.

Be careful on Amwell. They dropped the speed limit to 35 from Willow to Woods. Most people, after it being 45 for 50 years, don't notice the one little sign, and I've seen people pulled over almost every day. Also, please don't tailgate me. I don't want a ticket. It is probably necessary until the construction is finished, but it is effectively a speed trap. more ›
