The City of Hoboken to upgrade and pave 2 miles of roadway with utility partners

The City of Hoboken announces the milling and paving of over 2 miles for a minimum of 50 blocks of City roadways, will begin this Spring.  

In addition to the City’s Complete Streets and Resurfacing Program, Hoboken will work in partnership with PSE&G and North Hudson Sewerage Authority (NHSA) to restore roadways impacted by recent underground infrastructure improvement projects to upgrade drinking water mains and pressure valves, gas mains, and increase storm sewer capacity to reduce flooding. The City will implement additional Vision Zero safety improvements during the work, including using high-visibility striping to refresh crosswalks and other roadway markings. Curb ramp upgrades will also improve accessibility at many locations.  

“We know how frustrating it can be to drive around the city this time of year, especially after a tough winter and several construction projects that have greatly improved what’s beneath the surface, but left roads in rough condition,” said Mayor Emily B. Jabbour. “These paving projects will repair many of our roadways, not only improving driving conditions, but also incorporating additional safety upgrades that support our Vision Zero goals and improve accessibility.”

The following locations are scheduled to be restored starting in April through early June:

• Fifth Street from Jefferson Street to Madison Street
• Sixth Street from Grand Street to Adams Street
• Seventh Street from Grand Street to Adams Street
• Eighth Street from Grand Street to Jefferson Street
• Ninth Street from Jefferson Street to Monroe Street
• 10th Street from Jefferson Street to Madison Street
• 11th Street from Madison Street to Monroe Street  
• 13th Street from Adams Street to Willow Avenue
• 14th Street from Madison Street to Clinton Street
• 15th Street from Adams Street to Park Avenue  
• 16th Street from Madison to Willow Avenue
• Henderson Street from Hoboken City Boundary to Observer Highway  
• Observer Highway from Hoboken City Boundary to Southwest Resiliency Park and from Harrison Street to Madison Street
• Newark Street from Madison Street to Henderson Street
• Madison Street from Newark Street and Observer Highway
• Madison Street from Fourth Street to Sixth Street, Eighth Street to 11th Street, and 13th Street to 15th Street
• Jefferson Street from Observer Highway to First Street and 13th Street to 16th Street  
• Grand Street from 13th Street to 16th Street
• Clinton Street from 13th Street to 16th Street
• Adams Street from Eighth Street to Ninth Street and 15th Street to 16th Street
• Intersection of Fifth Street and Monroe Street
• Intersection of Seventh Street and Monroe Street

Final paving operations are also planned later this year for Sinatra Drive South, between First and Fourth Streets, and on Hudson Place.

Schedules are subject to change due to weather. The City will provide further notice prior to each roadway’s paving, including potential traffic and parking impacts.

The majority of these projects are funded through grants and utility capital projects.
