Motorists that regularly travel along East Mountain Road to get to Amwell Road/County Route 514 will have to find another way for a while, thanks to an emergency closure for bridge repairs.
Late Tuesday afternoon, the Hillsborough Township Office of Emergency Management (OEM) announced that a portion of East Mountain Road, located between Amwell Road and Daval Road needed to be closed off to the general public when it was found that the bridge crossing Royce Brook needed repairs.
Officials said the closure would last for two weeks. No one from the township’s OEM or engineering department could be reached for comment as to what caused the bridge’s immediate closure.
For the duration of the closure, officials said a detour route will be posted, since Daval Road will not be accessible from the county roadway. Additionally, only local traffic will be allowed on East Mountain Road between Mountain View Road and Daval Road.
