The City of Hoboken, PSE&G, and the North Hudson Sewerage Authority (NHSA) will be working together this spring to pave two miles of roadway across Hoboken. The work will include upgrading drinking water mains, gas mains, and storm sewers, as well as implementing additional Vision Zero safety improvements like high-visibility crosswalk markings and curb ramp upgrades.

Why it matters

This collaborative infrastructure project will improve driving conditions, accessibility, and safety on Hoboken's streets after a tough winter and several prior construction projects. The city is committed to its Vision Zero goals of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries through infrastructure upgrades.

The details

The paving and infrastructure work will take place on over 15 different streets and intersections across Hoboken, including major thoroughfares like Observer Highway, Madison Street, and Jefferson Street. In addition to the road resurfacing, the project will upgrade drinking water mains, gas mains, and storm sewer capacity to reduce flooding. The city will also implement Vision Zero safety improvements like high-visibility crosswalk markings and curb ramp upgrades to improve accessibility.

  • The work is scheduled to begin in April and be completed by early June 2026.
  • Final paving operations for Sinatra Drive South are planned for later in 2026.
