4ds agoA large crack that formed down the middle of a major roadway in Middlesex County was caused by a nearby construction project, according to officials.
The Middlesex County Department of Transportation says that the damage to Smith Street – the road that connects Woodbridge and Perth Amboy – was caused by construction activity from the adjacent property.
The crack was discovered about two weeks ago. The road has been closed ever since.
“Temporary measures are put in place to stabilize further erosion from weather conditions, and Woodbridge Township will continue to inform drivers of alternate roads,” officials wrote in a statement.
Middlesex officials say they are working to determine the next steps to reconstruct and reopen the roadway.
