Road Paving Updates
The Township’s annual road improvement program is now underway. Updates on scheduled work will be shared as they become available, typically in two-week increments.
If you see NO PARKING signs posted by the contractor, please do not assume work will begin immediately. These signs are installed in advance to provide residents with ample notice so they can make any necessary arrangements. While work is imminent, it may not begin for one to two weeks after the signs are posted.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as these improvements are completed. Roadwork updates and announcements will be posted to the Orange Township Facebook Page and front page of the website.
