Concept
Development Study for Operational Safety Improvements to County Route 52 (South
Laurel Avenue), Holmdel and Middletown
Monmouth County is
currently advancing a Concept Development (CD) Study for improvements to South
Laurel Avenue from Commons Way to AT&T Drive in the Townships of Holmdel
and Middletown, Monmouth County. The purpose of the CD Study is to
identify the Purpose and Need for the proposed improvements and then develop
conceptual alternatives that can be compared in order to determine one which
may be recommended to advance as a Preliminary Preferred Alternative (PPA).
Alternatives will be developed to improve the vertical clearance under the NJ
Transit Bridge; alleviate the existing hourglass configuration, improve
pedestrian and bikeway accessibility along South Laurel Avenue; address the
condition of and impacts to existing Bridges H-9, H-35, H-35A and H-43 which
carry S. Laurel Avenue over four unnamed tributaries of the Mahoras Brook; and
minimize potential NJ Transit service interruptions during construction. The
improvements will strive to minimize environmental, quality of life, access,
right of way and utility impacts in the study area. The existing stream
crossing structures will be evaluated for either replacement or culvert extensions.
