FEMA funding will allow Hunterdon County to install floodgates
FLEMINGTON – Hunterdon County has received a federal grant to install devices that will give officials earlier warnings of potential flooding and steer motorists away from dangerous floodwaters. The county commissioners earlier this month approved a $65,211.85 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that will allow the county to better prepare for potential flooding and warn motorists of flooded roads. In the past quarter of a century, Hunterdon County has sustained heavy damage and loss of life in floods, particularly in Hurricane Ida in September 2021. The lives of six motorists were lost when they were caught in Ida's floodwaters. More: Route 31 project in Hunterdon to begin this month. Here's what to expect One area particularly hit hard has been the Neshanic River basin in East Amwell and Raritan Township. In the past decade first responders have performed dozens of water rescues of motorists trapped in floods along the Neshanic River which flows into the South Branch of the Raritan River at the Hillsborough and Branchburg border. In the first phase of the project, funds from FEMA and the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management will be used by the United States Geological Survey to analyze rainfall and flood data along the Neshanic River and other locations throughout the county, including the Pleasant Run in Readington, Swan Creek in West Amwell and Lambertville and Hakihokake Creek in Holland Township and Milford. In the second phase of the project, floodgates to divert traffic will be installed at critical points in the county, including near the Neshanic River crossings on Amwell Road at the Raritan Township and East Amwell border and on Everitts Road in Raritan Township.
