Complete for the Fifth Time in Seven Years

Finally Smooth Sailing… Until Next Year?

Residents of East Brunswick, rejoice! a The long-anticipated (and much-delayed) completion of a Summerhill Road’s paving project has finally arrived—for the fifth time in the past seven years. Drivers can now glide seamlessly to Route 18 and beyond, basking in the novelty of a smooth ride that local historians predict will last until the next mayoral election cycle.

Paving Paradise to Put Up a Road

“It’s truly a miracle,” stated local driver Sam, while cautiously avoiding eye contact with the still-visible seams of last year’s asphalt. “I’ve only had to replace my tires twice this year. That’s a new record!” Sam, like many others, has grown accustomed to the rhythmic return of roadwork signs each spring, likening them to the migration patterns of particularly disruptive migratory birds.

The Seven-Year Stretch: A Tale of Perseverance and Asphalt

“This road has more layers than my winter clothing,” quipped Jennifer, a nearby resident, as she peered skeptically at the freshly laid asphalt. The completion ceremony included a festive ribbon-cutting, where the ribbon was humorously made from recycled road work signs—a nod to the road’s relentless rebirth.

7-Eleven: The Oasis Just Out of Reach

For days, the simple task of reaching the corner 7-Eleven on Summerhill and Rues Lane seemed a quest worthy of a Homeric epic. “I felt like Odysseus trying to get back to Ithaca, but all I wanted was a Slurpee,” lamented Greg Harmon, a local teenager. The reopening has seen a 300% increase in Slurpee sales, signaling a return to normalcy and perhaps a sugar rush of monumental proportions.

From Pot Holes to Pot of Gold: The Economic Impact of Eternal Construction

Economists are puzzled by the local surge in suspension repairs and coffee sales—the latter attributed to the amount of time drivers spend idling in construction traffic, desperately in need of caffeine. “It’s been a boom for business,” says BJ, owner of Crazy Bagel, positioned strategically close to the construction zone. “Our ‘Road Work Roast’ has never sold better!”

The Road Less Travelled? Not Anymore!

As the community celebrates this momentous completion, city officials have already hinted at “possible future enhancements” to Summerhill Road. Residents remain hopeful that this fifth paving is the charm, but old timers just wink and nod, knowing the asphalt saga is far from over.
