Based on @Patrick speeds, I thought they were runs
Sourlands Area Roads Updates
- Thread starter clarkenstein

This was an unwelcomed move by the township. No one up here is happy about it.
Lines down on Zion today. It’s closed.
Did they actually plow the stones off or was it just the stones getting pushed into the dirt, hence the need to re-stone every few years?

There's work on multiple roads in the area. South side of Linvale was closed yesterday. And just saw last week that the small gravel section of dutchtown-zion is no more.

Rock Brook Bridge at Zion and Dutchtown-Zion roads is under a complete rebuild - since it is a historical bridge (built in 1825) they are completely restoring it. The project manager from Somerset County (guy in the black t shirt and green hat) was there and loves to talk about it! Said they are finding some 19th century artifacts in the bridge.. Won't be done until end of Nov earliest

I wonder how that bridge faired in its somewhat weakened state? I can image all of that wooden reinforcement getting washed away.

Cider Mill is open! You can get through from Amwell to Wertzville now.

I rode up there this evening to check it out. Not sure what state of de/reconstruction it was in before Ida.

Wow... comparing your pics to the ones Rick posted pre-storm... Looks like it did not fair well.
Hollow is open and back in good shape. Only one spot goes to one lane now (by the house right on the road where they are fixing the foundation)

That was fast!
When I rode past today I thought they were working on the bridge, but it looks like dredging the streambed :
