City to upgrade and pave nearly 2 miles of roadway with utility partners 

The City of Hoboken announces that the milling and paving of over 2 miles for a minimum of 50 blocks of City roadways, will begin this spring.  

In addition to existing City paving projects, Hoboken will work with PSE&G and North Hudson Sewerage Authority (NHSA) to restore roadways impacted by recent underground infrastructure improvement projects to upgrade drinking water mains and pressure valves, gas mains, and increase storm sewer capacity to reduce flooding.  

The City will implement additional Vision Zero safety improvements during the work, including using high-visibility striping to refresh crosswalks and other roadway markings. Curb ramp upgrades will also improve accessibility at many locations.
