Union County Road Construction Alert: Protect Your Driveway from Morris Avenue Project Damage - Union County, NJ asphalt damage and repair solutions

Construction Zone Impact Areas

The Morris Avenue reconstruction project, stretching from [Springfield](/service-areas/springfield-nj/) through [Union](/service-areas/union-nj/) to [Millburn](/service-areas/millburn-nj/), is sending shock waves through residential neighborhoods that are causing unprecedented driveway damage. Our infrared scanning reveals subsurface cracks forming in driveways up to 2,500 feet from the construction zone.

Most Affected Neighborhoods: - **Springfield**: Baltusrol section, Mountain Avenue corridor - **Union**: Connecticut Farms, Battle Hill area - **Millburn**: Short Hills border, Wyoming section - **Summit**: Morris Avenue business district

The Hidden Damage You Can't See Yet

Construction vibrations travel through the ground at 3,000 feet per second, creating micro-fractures in your driveway's subsurface that won't be visible until winter's freeze-thaw cycles turn them into major cracks and potholes. If your home is within half a mile of Morris Avenue, your driveway is likely already compromised.

Warning Signs to Check Today: - New hairline cracks appearing overnight - Slight depressions where you park - Gravel or aggregate becoming loose - Water pooling in new areas after rain - Driveway edges separating from borders

Property owners have limited time to document construction-related damage for potential insurance claims or reimbursement from the county. Take these steps immediately:

  1. **Photograph all visible cracks and damage** with date stamps
  2. **Measure crack lengths and widths** for documentation
  3. **Note any new damage appearing** after construction work days
  4. **Get professional assessment** while damage is minor
