Why all the detours off Main St. Hackettstown this morning?

Just into town from Independence (Tuesday, October 27th and it was like a jigsaw puzzle to get back home. So many of the side streets with detours and sawhorses to entrance of them...cannot remember hearing or reading what is going on?

Route 46 EB is closed between West Stiger St and High St until 4:00 p.m. today (10/27/20) due to road work.


Charles St will be closed between West Stiger St and West Prospect St today from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. due to road work.

These were two Nixle alerts that went out this morning.


The State is finally finishing the crosswalks on Main St after they repaved Main st a few weeks ago. Stamped brick so they stand out more to assist with pediatrician crossing. It should be completed in 1 day. Was supposed to be completed a few days ago but got delayed due to rain.

@Jim L,
Are they going to repave the intersection too? Or is the job complete after the crosswalks are done???

the painting of the crosswalks is the final step in the project.

Are there a lot of pediatricians in the area such that they require their own crosswalks? Are podiatrists forbidden from using it? (-;

“ the painting of the crosswalks is the final step in the project “

—— my apologies for thinking they were finished already. They are painted. Based on what you said, Jim L, I took that to mean done.

I like that funky gray to be honest.

They haven’t finished the whole street yet so the project isn’t done. And 1 side only has 1 coat down. Again just a suggestion but maybe wait until they’re done and then we can all complain. I know that’s not normally the HL way but maybe give it a try.
