Alexander Street/Road Set to Reopen Friday

Both Mercer County bridges were built with the same roadway configuration as the new D&R Canal Bridge constructed by the NJDOT, and the design of all three bridges is respectful of the historic nature of the D&R Canal and surrounding area, according to the NJDOT. The three bridges were replaced simultaneously, using accelerated bridge construction techniques, which significantly reduced the required closure time of Alexander Street/Road from approximately nine-12 months to less than six months.
