The traffic signal at the intersection of Spotswood Englishtown Road and Matchaponix Avenue is now fully operational.

Please be advised that Federal Road remains closed between Gravel Hill Road and Monroe Boulevard until further notice due to a damaged utility pole. Residents and motorists are urged to avoid the area and follow all posted detour routes.
