Resurfacing work along CR 607 in Hopatcong Borough and CR 616 in
Andover Twp. was originally scheduled to be completed as night work
operations based on traffic volumes. However, as a result of the
Executive Orders issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and
subsequent traffic volume reductions, the Division of Engineering is
currently conducting traffic studies to reassess these locations for
possible daytime work.

Wantage Township was formed as a precinct on May 30, 1754, from
portions of Newton Township. It was incorporated as a Township on
February 21, 1798, as part of the state's initial group of 104
townships. Boundary exchanges were made with Frankford Township in both
1826 and 1834. Portions of the township were taken on October 14, 1891,
to form the Borough of Deckertown (which was renamed to Sussex borough
in 1902). The township was named for Wantage, England. (Wikipedia)
