Front Street barricaded




PSE&G crew working at Front and Park, 6 AM Sunday.


Barricades were up and prowl cars blocked the roadways on Front Street in Plainfield early Sunday morning from Watchung Avenue to Madison Avenue and on Park Avenue at Second Street and the Somerset Street entrance to the municipal parking lots.

I had seen PSE&G crews on West Front Street yesterday afternoon, in front of the first of the Park-Madison retail buildings. Shops west of the Dunkin' Donuts were in darkness as the crews worked, so I thought it might be electrical.

However, going out for the Sunday papers, I found the downtown barricaded. Parking in one of lots and trudging over to the corner, I came upon a PSE&G crew at a large excavation smack in the middle of the intersection of Park Avenue and Front Street. No one knew how soon the work would be finished.

If you plan to go out to Route 22, use Watchung Avenue or plan an alternate route.

You have been forewarned.
