Springfield Avenue businesses will remain open. Residents can use free public parking in municipal lots at Indiana Street & Springfield Avenue, Hilton Avenue & Prospect Street, Yale Street & Springfield Avenue, and Tuscan Road & Springfield Ave.
The South Orange Maplewood School District is aware of the road closures and detours, and the Township has worked to accommodate normal school operations as much as possible. That said, delays are still expected. Crossing Guards will continue to cross children on Springfield Avenue at Prospect Street, Burnet Street, and Boyden Avenue.
