Monmouth County Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone has reported that the county will receive an additional $10.3 million in state funded grants from the Fiscal Year 2021 Transportation Trust Fund.
“At our Nov. 24 meeting, my fellow freeholders and I passed resolutions for two bridge projects; the reconstruction of Bridge MT-24 on county Route 12A (Navesink River Road) in Middletown and the reconstruction of Bridge R-3 (Broadway) over Chingarora Creek which connects Keyport and Union Beach,” Arnone said.
“Both of these bridge reconstruction projects, which total over $11 million, are entirely funded by New Jersey Department of Transportation grants, with minor program exceptions of approximately $170,000 for non-participating items. We are putting these state funded grants to good use which help boost our economy by creating jobs and keeping our infrastructure in good repair,” Arnone said.
The Monmouth County Park System has announced that due to current limits on the size of outdoor gatherings, the Holmdel Park sled hill will not open through at least the end of December. The sled hill status will be revisited as the extent of the restrictions change.
Parks will be open every day, from dawn to dusk, for visitors to enjoy nature’s winter beauty. The Thompson Park ski hut will observe normal operation hours, conditions permitting.
