TOMS RIVER, NJ — If you have to travel through Toms River in the coming days, be prepared for traffic delays.

That's because beginning next week, road crews will be performing underground pipe work at the intersection of Route 37 and Main Street that will require the closure of both center lanes of Main Street, Toms River Police Department spokesman Ralph Stocco said.

The lanes, one northbound and one southbound, will be shut down from Route 37 to the intersection to Gateway Drive, Stocco said.
