Hillsborough announces $356,000 DOT grant for Dukes Parkway West repaving, outlines 2025 road plans
Summary
Deputy Mayor Ciccarelli said the township won a 2025 NJDOT local aid grant of $356,000 for repaving Dukes Parkway West; engineering plans will be prepared for DOT review and the project is expected in 2025 alongside other scheduled roadwork.
Hillsborough Township announced Dec. 10 that it received a 2025 New Jersey Department of Transportation local aid grant of $356,000 to help repave Dukes Parkway West.
Deputy Mayor John Ciccarelli told the committee that the DOT grant will cover about half of the repaving cost; the township will fund the balance from its capital paving bond and related repaving program. An engineering consultant is preparing plans and specifications for DOT review ahead of bidding; the township expects work to take place in 2025 and to coordinate the Dukes Parkway West repaving with improvements to Brown Avenue.
Ciccarelli framed the grant and the road schedule as part of a multi-year effort to address traffic and truck-related issues in the area and listed other roads finished in the current year and under consideration for 2025 scheduling.
Why it matters: the DOT aid reduces the township’s capital burden for a project on a corridor that committee members say experiences congestion and heavy truck traffic. Officials said they hope repaving and coordinated work on Brown Avenue will alleviate local traffic problems.
Next steps: the engineering consultant will submit plans and specifications for DOT approval and the township will issue a bid once approvals are in place; construction is anticipated in 2025.
