Milling and paving work has been completed on Highview Avenue in Hanover, Mendham Road in Mendham Township, North Main Street and East-West Dewey Avenue in Wharton, and is nearing completion on Mount Olive/Flanders Road in Mount Olive and is virtually done on Dover-Rockaway Road in Rockaway Township.
The county also is moving toward construction soon on Canfield Avenue in Mine Hill, a small section of Littleton Road in Parsippany, and Mount Arlington Blvd. in Roxbury.
In addition, bids have been advertised for work on Quaker Church Road and Randolph Avenue in Randolph, the final two 2019 county paving projects, with work expected in late October.

The county also expects to move ahead with two more bridge projects this fall: Chestnut Terrace bridge in Rockaway Township and Waterloo Road bridge at the Netcong and Stanhope border.
We are working hard to keep our commitment to properly maintaining our road and bridge infrastructure in Morris County,'' said Morris County Freeholder Stephen Shaw. We intend to work through the paving season, before the weather turns colder, to complete our list for 2019.''
