Temporary ACA Route Road Closures / Atlantic Coast #2, map 23. Road construction. July 2021

River Rd. in Phillipsburg NJ is being tar & gravel paved. The thick gravel is for approximately 3 miles starting at the Memorial Parkway going north. Signage is poorly marked.

Alternate bypass is Belvidere Road (County Route 646 which changes to County Route 519). Less scenic, less hilly but faster.

General Discussion / Hosting Travelers

« on: June 19, 2021, 06:05:17 pm »

We hosted our first cycle travelers last week. They were on the Atlantic Coast route and were slowed down by rain. They didn’t get as far as they needed and turned into my development. Luckily a neighbor was going out and directed them to a “a guy who bicycles a lot”. We opened our home to them.

The next morning I rode with them up 20 miles up to a difficult spot on Rte 46 @ Rte 80. To show them where you go the wrong way on a one way instead of a suicidal run on the highway.

I have seen cyclists on the Atlantic Coast route before.  It’s a 1/2 mile from my house.  I’m on a road parallel to River rd. Which is faster & less hilly but not scenic.   If you haven’t hosted cyclists before it’s a great experience.
