WOODBINE — The Borough of Woodbine been awarded New Jersey Department of Transportation for discretionary aid funding in the amount of $102,000 for additional funding for its DeHirsch Avenue reconstruction project.
The Borough of Woodbine had recently received bids for the reconstruction of DeHirsch Avenue between Adams Avenue and Isaacs Avenue which is being undertaken in conjunction with a companion County project on County Route 550 (CR550). South State, Inc. was the low bidder out of 3 competitive bidders on both projects with the Borough portion being $345,525 and the County portion being $1,635,016. The County portion involves the first phase of improvements to CR 550 covering the section of roadway from Madison Avenue to just West of Scott Avenue. Both of these projects include the use of NJDOT Transportation Trust Fund monies and are part of a Shared Services project implementation between the County and the Borough.
The County and the Borough are looking at this as a Spring construction project with work expected to start in late April or early May. Working with the County did result in some cost savings but there was still a shortfall which this additional funding now addresses.
“I want to thank NJDOT for their support and additional funding for this long-awaited project which will both eliminate drainage problems and result in a safer road,” added Mayor Pikolycky.
