HOBOKEN, N.J. — The City of Hoboken announced Friday it will begin milling and paving more than 2 miles of city roadways — spanning a minimum of 50 blocks — starting this spring, with work expected to run from April through early June.
The resurfacing effort is part of Hoboken’s Complete Streets and Resurfacing Program and will be carried out in partnership with PSE&G and the North Hudson Sewerage Authority (NHSA). The work aims to restore roadways that were affected by recent underground infrastructure projects, including upgrades to drinking water mains and pressure valves, gas mains, and storm sewer capacity improvements designed to reduce flooding.
Alongside the repaving, the city plans to implement Vision Zero safety enhancements, including high-visibility striping to refresh crosswalks and other roadway markings. Curb ramp upgrades are also planned to improve accessibility at multiple locations.
“We know how frustrating it can be to drive around the city this time of year, especially after a tough winter and several construction projects that have greatly improved what’s beneath the surface, but left roads in rough condition,” said Mayor Emily B. Jabbour. “These paving projects will repair many of our roadways, not only improving driving conditions, but also incorporating additional safety upgrades that support our Vision Zero goals and improve accessibility.”
Among the streets scheduled for restoration are multiple blocks along Fifth through 16th Streets, sections of Madison Street, Jefferson Street, Grand Street, Clinton Street, Adams Street, Henderson Street, Observer Highway, and Newark Street, as well as several key intersections including Fifth and Monroe Streets, Seventh and Monroe Streets, and Seventh and Madison Streets.
Additional paving operations are planned later this year for Sinatra Drive South between First and Fourth Streets, and Hudson Place.
City officials cautioned that schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions and said residents will receive advance notice before paving begins on each roadway, including information about potential traffic and parking impacts. The majority of the projects are funded through grants and utility capital projects.
