Visit Bernards Library, Open Despite Roadwork

Library is open even as S. Maple Ave. is closed for water main construction.

The Bernards Township Library at 32 S. Maple Ave. remains open despite the road closure on South Maple Avenue to allow for installation of a water main. 

The road closed last week, and was due to remain closed for about two weeks, with detours set up, township police said.

Those arriving from East Oak Street/North Maple Avenue should be able to access the entrance to the upper level parking lot just beyond the road closure sign. If not, library patrons can loop around to the lower lot by going down East Oak Street, turning right on Homeland Avenue and then right again on Lindbergh Lane.

The portion of roadway closed is between East Oak Street and Collyer Lane, township police said. A detour onto South Finley Ave. will be in effect Monday through Friday, township police said previously.
