Town of Morristown Announces Storm Sewer Mapping Project (posted June 17, 2026)

MORRISTOWN, NJ - The Town of Morristown has contracted with Colliers Engineering & Design to update the municipal storm sewer system map as required by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).

Beginning immediately, Colliers personnel will be conducting field surveys throughout Morristown to locate and map municipally owned stormwater infrastructure, including storm inlets, manholes, and outfalls. The work will utilize GPS technology and conventional measuring equipment.

The project is anticipated to be completed before the end of July 2026. Work hours will generally be Monday through Friday, from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., weather permitting. No power tools or heavy equipment will be used, and the work is not expected to generate significant noise.

Most of the mapping will take place within public rights-of-way and public parks. However, some municipally owned stormwater structures are located within easements on private property and may require access for documentation purposes.

Colliers personnel will be identifiable by orange or yellow safety vests displaying the company name and will be operating clearly marked company vehicles. Team members will carry company identification and can provide it upon request.

If access to private property is needed, survey personnel will first attempt to contact the property owner or occupant. Property owners do not need to be present for the work to be completed, and no entry into homes, garages, sheds, or other buildings will be required. Any locked or restricted areas will be revisited after contact with the property owner is established.

The Town appreciates residents’ cooperation as this important project helps maintain accurate records of Morristown’s stormwater infrastructure and supports compliance with state regulations. For additional information, please contact the Engineering Division at 973-292-4894.


 

 

Traffic Advisory: Morris Street/Morris Avenue Paving Project June 22-26, 2026

Traffic Advisory – Morris Street/Morris Avenue Paving Project

The Town of Morristown would like to advise residents and motorists of upcoming roadway improvement work on Morris Street/Morris Avenue scheduled from June 22 through June 26.

June 22–24: Manhole Adjustments and Repairs

Tilcon will perform manhole repairs and adjustments in preparation for paving. Work will occur during daytime hours, approximately 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day. Traffic will be maintained through the work zone, and only minimal disruptions are anticipated.

June 25: Roadway Milling (Overnight Operations)

The roadway will be milled during overnight hours from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Conducting this work at night will significantly reduce traffic impacts, allow the milling operation to be completed in a single night, and prevent residents on the numerous dead-end roadways within the project area from experiencing significant daytime access restrictions.

June 26: Roadway Paving (Overnight Operations)

Paving operations will take place overnight from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Night paving is preferred because traffic volumes are substantially lower, and newly installed asphalt requires time to cool before vehicles can safely travel on it. Cooler nighttime temperatures help expedite this process and improve access for residents.

Traffic Control and Public Safety

The Morristown Bureau of Police will assign officers throughout the project to assist with traffic control and ensure the safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians through the work area. Motorists are encouraged to exercise caution, remain alert for temporary road closures, follow all posted detours and directions from traffic control personnel, and allow additional travel time when traveling through the project area.

The Town appreciates the public's patience and cooperation as these improvements are completed. This paving project represents an important investment in Morristown's infrastructure and will enhance roadway conditions for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.
