Hamilton Township is proud to announce the award of $700,000 in funding from the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund’s Local Aid Infrastructure Fund program. This significant grant will support intersection improvements at Kuser Road and Klockner Road, adjacent to Crockett Middle School.
The project’s primary goal is to enhance mobility and reduce congestion in this vital area by optimizing traffic signals and improving access for all roadway users. The intersection, located about one mile from US-130, serves a diverse mix of residential, commercial, and school-related traffic. Currently, the intersection presents significant challenges for both motorists and pedestrians, including a lack of ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps, insufficient pedestrian crossing signals, and limited sidewalk connectivity, particularly for students commuting to Crockett Middle School.
The planned improvements include:
- Full reconstruction of traffic signals, including optimized timings and improved visibility
- Installation of new, ADA-compliant curb ramps with detectable warning surfaces
- Addition of pedestrian push buttons and new signal heads at optimal locations
- Refreshing of pavement markings and creation of new, clearly marked crosswalks on all approaches
- Installation of approximately 800 linear feet of new sidewalk, connecting the intersection to existing sidewalks along Kuser Road
“These upgrades will greatly benefit the Hamilton community by addressing the needs of all roadway users while making our roads safer for our children, local pedestrians and drivers,” said Mayor Martin. “We look forward to the completion of this project and the positive impact it will have on our residents, students, and local businesses.”
