Commissioners host traffic signal activation ceremony to mark completion of intersection improvements in Freehold Township

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners hosted a traffic signal activation ceremony to mark the completion of intersection improvements at County Route 23 (Jackson Mills Road) and Bergerville Road/Stone Hill Road.

“The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners is committed to maintaining the County’s infrastructure and these improvements are another example of that commitment,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “This project included upgrading the stop-controlled intersection to a new traffic signal-controlled intersection to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety. We thank the Earle Asphalt Company for its efforts in completing these necessary road improvements.”

The improvements included the construction of a semi-actuated traffic signal, flashing “Red Signal Ahead” signs, superelevation along the horizontal curve and pedestrian accommodations including Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps and crosswalks. The cost of the upgrades was $913,513.

In total, the County maintains approximately 1,000 lane miles of roads, 980 bridges and culverts and 250 traffic signals and beacons.
