The road was closed in order to reconstruct the bridge over Stony Brook.

The road was expected to open by Feb. 18, but weather delays have changed the construction schedule, said Julie Willmot, spokesperson for Mercer County.

Contractor Marbro, Inc. requested an extension of time after Hurricane Sandy delayed the project about three weeks and historic flooding of Stony Brook prohibited work on the bridge span for another two weeks, Willmot said.
