Sidewalk, Curbing and Water/Sewer Improvements 

Wednesday, September 13, 2023: Preliminary Activities Commence
Monday, September 18, 2023: Construction Operations Commence 

The Borough of Manasquan, with the support of significant N.J. Department of Transportation grant funding, will undertake roadway, curb, and water/sewer infrastructure improvement activities as noted above. Black Rock Enterprises, LLC is the general contractor. Joe Raftery, Colliers Engineering is the project engineer.

Project Requirements:

1.    Parking Prohibited: No parking signs will be posted and door hangers will be utilized as the project
       progresses, notifying that parking where curbs and sidewalks are next to  be installed is prohibited.
       Please make sure you comply with this notice, as towing of cars by Manasquan Police Department
       will be utilized as a last resort.

2.    Private, Underground Infrastructure: Please clearly mark and notify the Borough Administrator
       immediately upon receipt of this notice of underground sprinklers, etc. installed in the Borough
       right-of-way near the concrete curb/sidewalk.

3.    Pavers/Decorative Concrete Sidewalks in Borough Right of Way: In order to complete the
       drainage improvement element of the project, private improvements (pavers, stamped concrete,
       etc.) made to the sidewalks in the Borough right-of-way may be disturbed. All efforts will be made
       to limit this disturbance.

4.    Road Closings/Detours/Driveway Access: The project may require periodic road closings and
       detours to thru-traffic as well as temporary blockage of ingress/egress to driveways.

  • The Project consists of the second phase of First Avenue with a project area that starts at the Main Street intersection and continues to Whiting Avenue in the Borough of Manasquan, Monmouth County, New Jersey.  
  • The Borough received an FY 2022 NJDOT Municipal Aid Grant in the amount of $251,900.00 for the roadway project.   
  • The scope of work for this Contract includes the installation of concrete curb and gutter throughout the project limits that will help reduce nuisance flooding.

  • The entire project area will be milled and overlayed upon completion of the improvements. 
  • The project will also include fire hydrant and distribution system water valve replacement, sanitary sewer improvements, pavement striping, signage, and site restoration are also in the scope of work.
