Turkey Brook Park Main Entrance to Close Temporarily for 9/11 Remembrance

The Township of Mount Olive will temporarily close the main entrance to Turkey Brook Park for approximately one hour on September 11 from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm as the community gathers to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
The temporary closure will allow the Township to safely conduct its 9/11 remembrance ceremony and honor the lives lost, the first responders who served, and all those whose lives were forever changed.
Visitors are asked to plan accordingly and use caution when traveling in the area during the closure. The secondary entrance behind the Pavilion and near the lacrosse fields will be open. Visitors will be directed around toward the back of the park for parking and may exit to Sunset Drive.
We appreciate the public’s understanding as our community comes together to remember, honor, and never forget.

September 11 -Remember. Honor. Never Forget.

This year marks 25 years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001—a day that forever changed our nation and the lives of so many families. Mayor Nicastro and the Township Council invite our community to come together on Friday, September 11 at 6:45 PM at the 9/11 Memorial at Turkey Brook Park for a special memorial ceremony honoring the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and all those whose lives were forever changed.
The evening will include remarks from several special speakers as we reflect on the events of that day, remember those we lost, and recognize the courage, sacrifice, and unity that followed.
As 25 years have passed, it becomes even more important that we continue to share their stories with younger generations and ensure that the promise “Never Forget” remains more than words.
We hope you will join your friends, neighbors, first responders, veterans, and members of our community for this meaningful evening of remembrance.

Road Closure Notice - Pleasant Hill Road Bridge Replacements Begin Monday, August 31, 2026

No Through Traffic on Pleasant Hill Road in Mount Olive; Separate Detours for Cars and Trucks . Pleasant Hill Road in the Flanders section of Mount Olive Township will be closed to through traffic beginning Monday, Aug. 31, after the morning rush hour, as Morris County replaces two bridges over Drakes Brook.
The bridge closures will require motorists to follow a signed detour via Reger Road and Ironia Road. Truck traffic will be directed on a separate detour via Furnace Road and Route 206.
The project is expected to take approximately four months to complete, weather permitting.
The two existing bridges, located adjacent to each other near the Flanders Valley Golf Course, have deteriorated over time and require replacement. The bridge closest to the north side of Pleasant Hill Road, nearest to Ironia Road, was built in 1900 and has severe rusting and section loss in its steel beams. The second bridge, built in 1940, also has rusting steel beams as well as voids in its foundations.
The circa 1900 bridge will be replaced with a prestressed concrete beam bridge with a concrete deck, stone-faced parapets and wingwalls. The circa 1940 bridge will receive a three-sided precast concrete frame with precast wingwalls and bridge railings, topped with an asphalt overlay.
Motorists should anticipate delays and are advised to drive with caution. Alternate routes are encouraged during construction.
The $2,608,664 project is being completed by Konkus Corporation of Hillsborough, N.J., under contract with Morris County.
