Upgrades to Bear Tavern Road Coming This Spring

Bear Tavern Road Resurfacing Project to Begin in Late March.  Look for road closures and detours while work on road improvements is ongoing.

Road WorkA notice from the Mercer County Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Administrator Aaron Watson has informed us that due to deteriorated pavement surface conditions, Bear Tavern Road (CR 579) from Maddock Road in Hopewell to Scenic Drive in Ewing is scheduled for milling and resurfacing on or about Monday, March 28th.   The project is anticipated to take approximately 4 weeks, depending upon the weather. 

Work consists of three (3) phases:

  1. Milling and paving Bear Tavern Road from Nursery Road to Jacobs Creek Road in Ewing Township. During this time Bear Tavern Road will be closed to through traffic.  A detour will be posted directing motorists to use Nursery Road, Scotch Road, Washington Crossing Road and Jacobs Creek Road. 
  2. Phase 2 consists of work in Hopewell Township - milling and paving Bear Tavern Road between Jacobs Creek and Maddock Roads. Again, Bear Tavern Road will be closed to though traffic and motorists will be directed to Nursery Road, Scotch Road, Washington Crossing Road and Jacobs Creek Road. 
  3. The final phase will consist of milling and paving Bear Tavern Road between Nursery Road and Scenic Drive in Ewing Township. For this part of the project, traffic on Bear Tavern Road will continue with half road closures and single lane direction delays.  This may result in travel delays for motorists. 

Work hours and detours will be from effect from 9 am to 3:30 pm, Mondays through Fridays.  Access would be permitted for local businesses, residents, as well as service and emergency vehicles.  Signs will be posted prior to and throughout the duration of the project advising motorists of the upcoming road improvements.
