Route 33 shoulder closures start Monday as pavement project begins in Monmouth County

Closures necessary for concrete curb and inlet work

(Trenton) – Shoulder closures on Route 33 in Tinton Falls, Wall, and Howell will begin next week as a pavement project begins in Monmouth County.

From 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. Monday, March 6, and continuing daily Monday through Friday for approximately two months, sections of the shoulder on Route 33 westbound between Wardell Road in Tinton Falls and just before Fairfield Road in Howell are scheduled to be closed for concrete curb and inlet work. When the westbound side is complete, work will move to the eastbound side. Daytime lane closures may be necessary during construction. Paving is expected to begin this summer and will be done overnight.

The work is part of a $8.2 million state-funded project for maintenance and paving work on Route 33 in Monmouth County and in various locations in Mercer, Monmouth, and Ocean Counties.

The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors.  Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT’s traffic information website www.511nj.org for construction updates and real-time travel information.
