Morses Mill Stream Bridge Closed Until Further Notice
Galloway Township residents are advised that the Morses Mill Stream Bridge on Zurich Avenue, located between Duerer Street and Herschel Street, is closed effective immediately due to identified structural concerns.
The closure will remain in place until further notice while the County assesses the bridge's condition and develops a plan for repairs or replacement. Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes and allow for additional travel time in the area.
The Township and County appreciates the public's patience and cooperation as we work to address this matter and ensure the safety of all residents and visitors. Additional updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
New State Law Changes How Public Notices Are Published
The State of New Jersey has enacted P.L. 2025, c. 72, which updates the requirements for how municipalities and other local government entities publish official public notices.
Beginning January 1, 2026, municipalities, counties, boards of education, and special districts must publish public notices twice per month through December 31, 2026. These notices must include a direct link to the municipality’s official webpage where legal notices are posted. The published notice must also state that the complete text of each legal notice may be obtained or viewed on the public entity’s official website and provide the appropriate hyperlink.
Starting March 1, 2026, local governments are required to publish all legal notices on their official websites. While municipalities may continue to use print or online newspapers if they choose, website publication is mandatory. If a municipality uses an online news publication, it must prominently display a hyperlink to that publication on its municipal website.
Online newspapers that receive legal notices are required to publish them within 24 hours of receipt. The cost to publish online notices may not exceed the rate established under N.J.S.A. 35:2-1.
Residents can find all official public notices for the Township by visiting www.gtnj.org/notices. The page contains the full text of ordinances, meeting notices, bid advertisements, and other required legal publications.
The Township encourages residents to bookmark this page and check it regularly to stay informed about important local government matters. Additional updates will be shared as implementation of the new law progresses.

New Emergency Radio Program Helps Galloway Stay Connected When It Matters Most
The Galloway Township Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is excited to introduce CEDRON—the Community Emergency/Disaster Radio Operations Network—a new program designed to help our community stay connected during emergencies.
When severe weather, power outages, or other disasters occur, cell phones and landlines don’t always work—and emergency call centers can quickly become overwhelmed. CEDRON provides an additional way for residents and local organizations to share urgent information and request assistance using simple two-way radios, even when other systems are down.
Through CEDRON, approved participants can report emergency needs or hazardous conditions directly to the Township’s Emergency Operations Center. At the same time, OEM can share important updates such as evacuation information, shelter locations, and safety messages that participants can pass along to family, neighbors, and coworkers.
Community radio networks like CEDRON have played a critical role in keeping people informed during disasters across the country. Now, Galloway Township is bringing that same level of preparedness home.
CEDRON is open to residents, first responders, managers of critical facilities, and trained weather observers who obtain a GMRS license and complete a brief training session.
Visit the CEDRON program page to learn how it works, who can participate, and how to apply.
