Over the next few weeks North Bergen will repave certain streets between 76th Street and 92nd Street, from Kennedy Boulevard to Bergenline Avenue.
Many of these streets were damaged by work done by PSE&G and Suez. The township has been waiting to repave them until the utility companies completed their underground work.
At the North Bergen Board of Commissioners meeting on Oct. 21, a resolution was adopted awarding a contract for the 2020 Township Paving Program for $1,065,275.90.
Mayor Nicholas Sacco said he has been very critical of the companies “ripping up the street” instead of “preparing the infrastructure.”
“All the money we put in, and all they do is create street problems for us,” Sacco said.
