    Route 23, Bridge over a Branch of the Wallkill River


    Wantage Township, Sussex County
    Public Information Center
    Thursday, March 5, 2015 6 8 PM
    The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT),
    committed to developing transportation improvements
    that best balance transportation needs, the environment,
    community concerns and cost, will hold a Public
    Information Center regarding the Route 23, Bridge
    over a Branch of the Wallkill River - Bridge
    Replacement Project in Wantage Township, Sussex
    County. You are encouraged to actively participate by
    providing comments at the meeting, by mail, or by email.

    The Proposed Project


    The NJDOT is proposing to replace Structure No. 1904153 with a precast, three-sided rigid frame. The cross
    section of the proposed bridge includes a 12-foot wide
    travel lane and an 8-foot wide shoulder in each direction
    along with sidewalk on the west side of the bridge. The
    project will also include the replacement of the existing
    guide rail and end treatments in the southeast, northeast
    and northwest quadrants of the structure to meet current
    standards.

    The Meeting
    The Public Information Center will be held at the
    Sussex-Wantage Library Meeting Room, 69 Route
    639, Wantage on Thursday, March 5, 2015 from 6 8
    PM. Please plan to attend at a time that is convenient for
    you. You will have an opportunity to examine design
    plans, ask questions, and discuss issues with
    representatives from NJDOT.

    The bridge will be replaced using two main construction


    stages and a single-lane temporary bridge to maintain
    both travel lanes of Route 23 during construction.
    Bicycle/pedestrian and oversized vehicle detours will
    also be implemented.

    Background
    Structure No. 1904-153, which carries Route 23 over a
    branch of the Wallkill River, is a single span bridge built
    in 1926.
    The structure is considered structurally
    deficient and functionally obsolete. Remedial scour
    countermeasures were installed in 2009.

    Environmental
    Constraints include Section 4(f) land (the Wallkill River
    National Wildlife Refuge), which is located east of the
    structure, freshwater wetlands, and threatened or
    endangered species and their habitats. Every effort will
    be made to avoid or minimize impacts within the project
    limits. NJDEP permits include Flood Hazard Area
    Individual Permit and Freshwater Wetlands General
    Permit.

    Final Design
    Anticipated Schedule
    This project is currently in Final Design (FD). The Estimated Start of Construction Spring 2016
    major objective of the FD Phase is to produce
    construction contract documents for the project for use in
    soliciting bids from prospective contractors and moving
    the project to the Construction Phase.
