Flemington Upgrades Flooding, Roads, Sewers on Three Major Streets

Flemington recently closed on a $1,120,607 loan with the NJ Water Bank to replace 1,250 feet of aging sewer pipe on Main Street from Church Street to the Route 12 Circle.

Main Street Sewer and Road Work

The sewer replacement forms part of broader upgrades along Main Street. The final phase of the Main Street roadway improvement project began on July 15, 2025, with full roadway reconstruction between Route 12 and Church Street and is anticipated to conclude by August 2025. These changes address aging infrastructure that affects traffic flow and service reliability for residents who use the corridor daily.

Academy Street Drainage Project

The Borough of Flemington proposed a Resilient Communities Grant project to improve drainage and reduce flooding on Academy Street by adding storm inlets and installing an underground recharge/dry well system. Reduced flooding on this street would limit disruptions for nearby properties and commuters during heavy rain.

Route 31 Widening Plans

N.J. DOT plans to widen Route 31 through Flemington and Raritan Township, with construction projected to start in fall 2025 and wrap up by fall 2027 for the northern segment. The widening targets capacity and safety on a key regional route that carries local and through traffic.

New Industrial Development

Flemington Junction Business Center III, a 70,637-square-foot industrial warehouse complex at 21 Minneakoning Road, is under construction and slated for completion in July 2026. Completion of this facility could support local employment and logistics activity once operational.

Residents can monitor project updates through the Borough of Flemington website and N.J. DOT notices for any temporary access changes during construction phases.
