Contractor further delays Rt. 113 stormwater pipe project

State Highway Administration Public Information Officer Charlie Gischlar confirmed the work originally scheduled to begin on July 25 to install four new stormwater drainage pipes on Route 113 will now proceed beginning next Monday.

Gischlar said the contractor on the project has experienced delays with the work they’re currently doing elsewhere.

However, the first night of work may not require a detour now, as crews will begin the work outside of travel lanes Monday night beginning around 6 p.m., he said.

The two following nights will likely require detours.

Three installations will be just south of Langmaid Road, and will use that street and Newark Road as bypasses. The fourth installation will take place north of Basket Switch Road, and drivers can use that road as well as Newark Road to get by.
