Traffic Light and Road Work on Kings Highway Projected to be Completed by Summer of 2018

Monmouth Country is projecting that the proposed traffic light at the intersection of Kings Highway and Church Street will be finished by the summer of 2018.

Work has been taking place in the Middletown Village Historic District since last February in order to widen the roadway on Kings Highway, allowing for a left-turning lane onto Church Street. This will allow for an easier traffic flow and safer travel for those who regularly use the road as part of their commute. A pedestrian crosswalk and four additional traffic lights are also part of the project.

North Zone Garbage Collection: Monday, January 8th

Due to the winter storm, garbage collection in the North Zone was postponed until Monday, January 8th. We understand that because of the holidays and Thursday’s missed collection, many residents will have more garbage than will fit into the new cart. Because of this unique situation, the Township will have the contractor collect the garbage outside of the carts for Monday’s collection only. Click HERE to read more.
