Beginning Nov. 6, Alexander Road will be fully closed between Lawrence Drive in Princeton and Canal Pointe Boulevard in West Windsor for about six months. During that time, the New Jersey Department of Transportation and the Mercer County Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will replace two bridges and one stream culvert.
Construction will impact those traveling to Westminster Choir College through increased commute times and greater traffic congestion. The Princeton Police Department has stated that they are taking measures to ease some of the traffic issues, but commuters should expect significant delays on local, county and state roads in the areas surrounding the construction. These roads include Route 1, Princeton Pike, Route 206 and Route 27.
During construction, a detour route will be set up following Faculty Road to Washington Road (Route 571) to Route 1. There are other alternate directions to Westminster Choir College, as well:
Cold and inclement weather can impact the day to day work of this project, as well as the projected completion date of April 2020.
The Princeton Police Department will regularly provide updated information on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, as well as on its Nixle Alerts.
Please plan accordingly to stay informed and make travel decisions that are best for you.
