ANBOY AVE.
WORK DELAY
Paving Work to Start in Two
Weeks Time, City Engineer
Booz Declares

Prospects that Amboy avenue will
be ready for traffic this summer
are not very bright. City Engineer
Louis P. Booz, Jr., declared today
that the paving of the thoroughfare
will not be started before two weeks
time and this mean that it will
probably be well into August be-
fore the street win be opened to
traffic.
When work was started on the re-
paving of Amboy avenue, it was the
opinion generally expressed by those
in charge of the work that 1t would
be completed by the middle of July.
Although work has been going on
constantly since that time, the State
Highway Commission has found 1t
necessary to extend the time limit
of the contractor and to route the
heavy shore automo bile traffic via
another detour instead of the one
originally selected as the increase in
summer traffic proved the n in the
northern section OF the city to be
inadequate.
The delay for the most part is
luz to the fact that the city is lay
ing a sewer in the torn UP section
before the new paving is put down,
and according to the city engineer,
1t Will probably be two weeks be-
fore this work is completed. A
piece of property that extended out
into the avenue has been purchased
and this also will be included in
the t~horoughfare in order that the
street may be built without obstruc-
tons.
1t was the original plan of the
state and city to close off one sec
ton of the street and while that was
being paved to allow traffic how
ever soon became ~congested under
this plan and detours then had to be
arranged-for the lighter traffic.
For a time the traffic was send over
a detour selected among the north
ern streets of the city. However the
poor condition of the road soon was
the cause of many complaints and
the State Highway Commission then
rerouted the traffic from Woodbridge
over King Georges avenue to New
Brunswick avenue, thence to Con-
very Place and over the state
bridge.
According to information obtained
from he city engineers office today,
the installation of the sewer was
progressing rapiSy, when the con-
tractor struck sand in which is a
large amount of water. This meant
the placing Of sheathing to keep the
sides of the excavation from caving
IN n otherwise delaying the work.
