Acting Governor Tahesha Way has declared a State of Emergency for all 21 NJ counties, effective 10:00 p.m. tonight (Oct. 11), ahead of a powerful Nor’easter slamming the state Sunday, Oct. 12, through Monday, Oct. 13. Expect 4-6 inches of rain, 50-60 mph wind gusts, and dangerous surf with 8-12 ft waves, causing flash flooding, power outages, and coastal erosion. Northern NJ and coastal areas face the highest risks.

Stay Safe: Secure outdoor items, charge devices, and stock essentials like food and flashlights. Avoid beaches and unnecessary travel due to potential road closures and hazardous conditions. Monitor updates via weather.gov (Northern NJ: /okx, Central/South: /phi) or NJDOT’s 511nj.org for real-time traffic.

Resources: Know your evacuation routes at nj.gov/njoem. Report outages to your utility and tune into local radio for alerts. Text “NJSTORM” to 898-211 or call 211 for help. Stay vigilant, NJ—let’s weather this together!

I have spoken with Mayor Joe Hathaway of Randolph, who is in contact with Chief Harzula. They are aware of the events happening at the Black River Barn and are working to find the individual responsible. We would like to thank the public for their concern, and would ask individuals to reach out to Mayor Joe Hathaway and the Randolph Police with any further questions.

On the 24th anniversary of September 11th, 2001, I would like to take the time to remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost, as well as the heroism of our first responders, and the resilience of the families and communities so greatly impacted by this unspeakable act of terror.

We also remember what followed, a nation in mourning, but not in retreat. We stood together, not as members of a certain race or religion, but as Americans. That unity galvanized us as a country and gave us the strength to carry each other through some of our darkest hours as a nation.

Despite this, remembrance is not just reflection, it is also a responsibility. A responsibility to remind our future generations of not only the tragic loss of life, but of the tremendous sacrifice made by our first responders, so that they too can participate in building a country worthy of their memory.

Today we pause to remember, but we will never forget

PRESS RELEASE:
August 15, 2025
For Immediate Release

Minnisink Road to Close for One Day Monday, Aug. 18
Bridge Culvert Replacement Project Expected to Finish by Week’s End
On Monday, Aug. 18, Minnisink Road will be closed to all through traffic south of 117 Minnisink Road to Berkshire Valley Road for one day as part of ongoing emergency repairs to Bridge No. 1400-829 at the border of Roxbury and Jefferson townships.
The closure will begin at 7 a.m. to allow the contractor to install a new pipe at the center of the roadway. Work is expected to be completed in one day, with the overall project finishing by the end of the week, weather permitting.
Detours will be in place. Motorists are advised to drive cautiously, allow extra travel time and consider alternate routes due to anticipated delays.
• Northbound traffic detour: Berkshire Valley Road to Route 15 north to Edison Road to Espanong Road back to Minnisink Road.
• Southbound traffic detour: Northbound Espanong Road to Edison Road to Route 15 south to Berkshire Valley Road.

Following the one-day closure, one lane of alternating traffic through the work zone will resume for the duration of the project.
The work is part of a $180,980, county-funded project to replace the existing culvert with a 36-inch reinforced concrete pipe to improve water flow and extend the structure’s lifespan.
For questions or concerns, contact the Morris County Division of Engineering and Transportation at 973-285-6750.
