Major Thoroughfare Shut Down for a Month Amid Construction in Mount Olive

Flanders Netcong Road Closure Set to Cause Temporary Detours, Anticipated Delays as New WAWA Comes to Town

Mount Olive, NJ - A major road in Mount Olive, Flanders Netcong Road, is scheduled for a full closure due to construction-related improvements starting July 27 and will remain closed until August 31, 2023, weather permitting. The closure, part of the development of a new WAWA convenience store, affects the stretch between Flanders-Drakestown Road and Route 206.

The extensive roadwork is a key part of facilitating the establishment of the WAWA at the busy intersection of Route 206 and Flanders Netcong Road. The road improvements are an endeavor by Hix Snedeker Companies, with Fulcrum Construction Group, LLC contracted to perform the work.

Due to the road closure, commuters will be redirected to an alternate route involving Drakesdale Road and the intersection at Route 206. Traffic in the area is likely to face delays during the construction period, urging motorists to consider other routes when traveling in this area.

Residents with questions or concerns about the closure or construction project are encouraged to reach out to the Mount Olive Township or the County of Morris for further information. The proactive measure of communicating the closure in advance is aimed at minimizing inconvenience and disruption to the local populace.

Despite the temporary inconvenience, the construction project aims to enhance the local infrastructure to accommodate the new WAWA. Upon completion, the project will offer increased services and convenience for the residents of Mount Olive and the broader Morris County, contributing to local economic growth.
