Flemington Main Street Sewer Project Road Closures Resume January 2026

Flemington Borough began triannual and annual street sweeping for concrete and asphalt roads with storm drain inlets on January 1 2026 under its Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The Borough Council is also prioritizing the Main Street Sewer Water and Road Improvement Project with road closures resuming January 7 2026 for an anticipated five-month duration to address aging infrastructure and sewer manhole bubbling.

These measures follow the 2024 replacement of Chapter 21 of the Municipal Code with Ordinance No. 2024-09 which aligned stormwater management regulations with NJDEP requirements. A major infrastructure project on Main Street and Church Street is funded by the state and engineered pro bono by Remington Vernick with a 2027 completion target and a 2028 deadline to secure reimbursement.

Project timeline for residents

Residents along Main Street and Church Street can expect periodic disruptions from the road closures beginning in January 2026. The five-month schedule for the sewer water and road work is intended to address infrastructure issues that have required ongoing attention. Street sweeping operations that started January 1 2026 will continue on the designated schedule for roads equipped with storm drain inlets.

Budget and funding adjustments

The council's 2026 budget includes financial adjustments to support municipal projects particularly roads and water systems. The Borough is seeking potential USDA funding if road work bids exceed current budgets. These steps are part of efforts to manage costs associated with the state-funded Main Street and Church Street improvements.

The projects are expected to continue through 2027 with reimbursement processes extending to 2028. Residents should monitor official borough notices for specific closure dates and any changes to the anticipated five-month Main Street schedule.
