Township officials cleared a minor roadblock last week on their way to completing the construction of the north section of Liberty Way.

On Sept. 10, [b]the Township Committee authorized an additional $18,230 for the bridge portion of the project[/b], over Cranbury Brook, to pay for a stormwater treatment device that would filter out solid waste from the brook. The north section of Liberty Way runs from Security Drive to Half Acre Road.

[b]Liberty Way to ease warehouse truck traffic [/b]

Years after construction began, Cranbury is still working to finish Liberty Way.

The road, which runs from South River Road to Station Road, is expected to help divert truck traffic off the portion of Route 130 that runs through Cranbury by providing them with an easier way to get to N.J. Turnpike Exit 8A.

Township Engineer Cathleen Marcelli could not provide an estimated date for completion, but said additional work on the road could start this month. She also was not sure how much the work scheduled to begin this month or next month will cost.

She said the township has received bids from contractors for the Half Acre Road portion of the road. According to Ms. Marcelli, the project was awarded last month and should start within the next month.

She said the township paid only the engineering cost for the southern portion of the Half Acre Road project and got state funding to cover the rest of the cost.

[b]Cranbury to receive grant [/b]

The township will received state funding to help pay for construction of Liberty Way.

Cranbury is getting a $255,000 grant to put toward construction of the road, which runs from South River Road to Station Road and is designed to divert truck traffic from the township's section of Route 130 to N.J. Turnpike Exit 8A.

The money comes from the $78.75 million 2007 Transportation Trust Fund Municipal Aid Program, according to a press release from Assemblywoman Linda Greenstein, whose district includes Cranbury Township.

The portion of the road that has been completed so far has been paid for through a number of grants and by warehouse developers whose buildings border the road.

Township Administrator Tom Witt said the township applied for the Transportation Trust Fund grant and was hopeful that it would receive money for the project.

"We apply every year and every year we've been successful in at least getting some money," he said. "We were very optimistic when we applied to the grant that we would receive some funding since there's prior history of them funding the Liberty Way project."

Mr. Witt said he does not know yet what part of the project the money will go toward.

[b]Township Committee introduced an ordinance Monday that will fund the construction plan. [/b]

Construction on Liberty Way, a road expected to run from South River Road to Station Road, will resume this spring, according to township officials.

The Township Committee introduced an ordinance Monday that will provide the township with $855,000 when it's approved. Of that, $655,000 will be appropriated for the construction of portions of Liberty Way. The remaining $200,000 will be designated for the construction of the Babe Ruth baseball field on the Wright South property, adjacent to the school.

The township has been planning the construction of Liberty Way since 2002. The road is designed to divert truck traffic from the township's section of Route 130 and toward N.J. Turnpike Exit 8A.

Township Engineer Cathy Marcelli said the township has already secured $700,000 in grants from the state Department of Transportation Municipal Trust program to complete the portion of road that stretches south of Half Acre Road to Cranbury Brook.[/quote]
