  1. Clearly no communication between the town and county. There are at least 5 bridge closures in this area that make getting anywhere around Montgomery/Princeton/Hopewell a nightmare! Utterly ridiculous.

  2. Then why is the road already closed at 8:30 am and still closed at 3 pm if the hours are 9 to 2 pm? Getting to work and getting home is now an impossible task!
