CRANBURY: Route 130 southbound to be repaved next spring

CRANBURY — Thanks to the help of local Cranbury residents and politicians, the New Jersey Department of Transportation confirmed Route 130 southbound between Dey Road and the Main Street circle most likely will be resurfaced next spring.
Sen. Linda Greenstein of the 14th legislative district, along with Assemblymen Daniel Benson and Wayne DeAngelo, wrote a letter to DOT Commissioner James Simpson on Sept. 6, explaining the danger of the conditions of Route 130.
”Route 130 (between Dey Road and Main Street circle) is plagued with severe potholes, cracks and loose concrete, which compromises the safety of the traveling public,” reads the letter.
”We respectfully request on behalf of our constituents in Cranbury and the residents of the 14th District who travel on Route 130 that the roadway be completely repaved and restored not only to provide a safe passage of travel, but restore residents’ quality of life and property values to the fullest.”
Mr. Simpson responded in a letter dated Oct. 21, about six weeks later, stating the Cranbury section of Route 130 is referenced in the DOT’s Fiscal Year 2012 resurfacing program.
”The construction is anticipated to be awarded this spring, and construction should begin shortly thereafter,” he said in the letter.
Sen. Greenstein, in an interview with The Cranbury Press, said her office has tried to get in touch with the DOT in the past to discuss the condition of the road, but they never got this kind of good news before.
”There doesn’t seem like there’s anything more we need to do. It’s great news,” Sen. Greenstein said. “We immediately wrote (the DOT) in September when we started realizing some citizens were asking about it.”
One of those residents was Karen Callahan, Republican candidate for Cranbury Township Committee.
Ms. Callahan said she began speaking with the DOT and Sen. Greenstein in August to find a way to speed up the resurfacing process.
Sen. Greenstein’s office and Ms. Callahan worked with Anthony Attanasio, assistant commissioner for government and community relations for the DOT.
”The northbound and southbound portions of Route 130 are comprised of two separate materials and, therefore, will be treated as two separate projects,” Ms. Callahan said. “The southbound side is comprised of asphalt while the northbound side is made up or concrete.”
