SOUTH BRUNSWICK – State to pave 2 miles of Route 27 in coming months

   Two lanes in both directions of Route 27 from North Brunswick to South Brunswick in Middlesex County will be re-paved over the next six months, according to officials.
   The state Department of Transportation says it will undertake a maintenance and resurfacing project that will improve a total of 15 miles of roadway along Routes 12, 27, 28, 22 and 206 in Hunterdon, Middlesex and Somerset counties.
   On Route 27, the section to be repaired is milepost 10.75 to 12.73.
   The $8.7 million resurfacing project also includes Route 28 in both directions from Somerville Borough to Bridgewater Township in Somerset County, Route 22 in both directions from North Plainfield to Scotch Plains in Somerset County, and Route 206 in Hillsborough Township.
   The roadway maintenance project includes milling and paving the roadway, repairing and upgrading the existing drainage systems, installing vehicle sensors, and new curbing and sidewalks within the project areas.
   South Brunswick Police are advising that motorists may encounter temporary single lane closures and alternating traffic patterns in both directions, according to a statement from the department.
   The project is expected to take place Mondays-Thursdays, from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. and from 7 p.m. – 6 a.m. the following day; on Saturdays from 8 p.m. – 9 a.m. the following day; and on Sundays from 8 p.m. – 6 a.m. the following day, according to police.
   No detours will be necessary, police said.
   Project completion for all the routes is scheduled for October.
