Springfield Begins Fall Infrastructure Program: Striping, Paving Ahead

Springfield Township is undertaking a comprehensive infrastructure program this fall that includes intersection re-striping and multiple paving projects. Union County crews have begun re-striping five major intersections, with work already underway at Mountain and Oakland.

The township has two major paving projects on the schedule with funding from state and county grants.

Linden and Wabeno Avenues Paving

A paving project on Linden and Wabeno avenues is scheduled to begin in late September or early October. The project scope includes milling, overlay, spot curbing, handicap ramps, and drainage improvements. The project will also include the planting of 16 new trees to enhance the streetscape.

The project is funded by a $323,000 grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

Fieldstone Drive Paving

A separate paving project on Fieldstone Drive is scheduled to begin in the third week of October. The Springfield Township Committee has been told that project is expected to be completed within one week.

The project is funded by a $105,000 Union County grant.

Infrastructure Investment

Together, these projects represent significant township investment in infrastructure, road quality, and community improvements. The combination of re-striping, paving, drainage work, and tree planting reflects Springfield's commitment to maintaining safe, functional roads and attractive public spaces.

Residents should expect some traffic impacts and lane restrictions during these projects. Updated information on specific project timelines and traffic impacts will be available from Springfield Township as work progresses.
