#Denville – County to Close Bridge At Denville-Randolph Border for Repairs Next Month

 

 

Posted Tuesday, July 17th, 2018

Openaki Road Bridge to be Shut from Aug. 8-10  

The busy Openaki Road Bridge in Denville, a one-lane span that crosses the Den Brook at Openaki Lake, at the Randolph border, will be closed to traffic for at least three days next month to allow for repairs to a recently discovered structural flaw.

County to Close Bridge At Denville-Randolph Border for Repairs Next Month

Openaki Road Bridge

State bridge crews, during a routine inspection, discovered a flaw in the concrete deck on the bridge, which requires immediate repair.

While the bridge currently is safe to use, that section of the bridge deck must be fixed as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration.

The bridge is scheduled to be fully replaced in 2020 but the existing bridge must be kept in service until that time.

The repair work, to be done by the county Bridge Division, has tentatively been scheduled for Aug. 8, 9, and 10, prior to the start of the school year.

County officials have reached out to officials in Randolph and Denville to advise them of the issue, and to coordinate the repair work schedule and a detour plan.

During the work, Openaki Road, which becomes Casterline Road in Randolph, will be closed and traffic will be detoured from Shongum Road to Everdale Road to Mountainside Drive. Motorists should plan for alternate routes, especially during commuter hours.

The Openaki Road Bridge, a steel stringer structure, was built in 1924 and was rehabilitated in 1992. The 15.5-foot-wide, 54-footlong bridge carries an average of 4,600 vehicles daily. It is posted to carry 13 tons.

The recent inspection by the state Department of Transportation found that a portion of the deck slab was fractured and had settled, exposing the bridge’s  reinforcement steel.

Franklin Mineral Museum

 

Is the Denville Library rock and fossil event full?  Here is an alternative!

Ever explore the Franklin Mineral Museum? This is a great trip! This is the home of the world’s most famous zinc mines and spectacular fluorescent minerals.

Bring a small tack hammer and safety goggles for the kids and let them mine their own fluorescent rocks to create a fluorescent shadow box for their room.

Pick up a shadow box at Michael’s craft store, small mountable black light, and let the kids fill up the shadow box with their own mined fluorescent treasures at the Franklin Mineral Museum!
