Road Maintenance

Hillsborough Township Roadways

Hillsborough Township Department of Public Works maintains all Township roadways. If you have a pothole or road repair request, please contact the office at 908-369-4313 prompt 6. The resurfacing of roadways is not determined by the Public Works Department. Road resurfacing is approved by a capital process and then scheduled into a five-year plan by Hillsborough Township Engineering. Should you have questions regarding road resurfacing, you may contact the Engineering Department at 908-369-4460 to see if it is on the five-year plan.

Residents are responsible for all maintenance of their property, which extends from their property line to the roadway (whether the curb meets the roadway or the grass meets the roadway). The driveway apron is the responsibility of the property owner which allows access to the public roadway.

Easements located between the roadway and the property allow the right to use and/or enter onto the real property of another without possessing it. The easement or right of way is still owned by the property owner and should be maintained as such.
