It’s widespread knowledge that President Joe Biden is expected to be in Middletown this afternoon through this evening for a dinner at Gov. Phil Murphy’s home in the Navesink section.

With the presidential visit comes a traffic advisory. Police have advised that “motorists should expect delays, intermittent road closures, and temporary frozen zones (no vehicles, pedestrians, or bikes on roadway) in the afternoon and early evening hours in the vicinity of the Lincroft, River Plaza, Oak Hill and Navesink sections of the township as well as the Route 35 corridor near Red Bank,” a released statement said. “Please avoid the area and plan alternate routes.”

Middletown, a more than 40-square-mile township, is comprised of 12 different hamlets. Navesink, where Murphy lives, is one of them and is in close proximity to Red Bank and shares its zip code. The Lincroft, River Plaza and Oak Hill sections are also closest to Red Bank in other directions. In other words, the advisory comprises all areas surrounding Navesink in various directions.

While police were not more specific, as in precise roads and times, the advisory says to just avoid the general area during that time if you’d planned on traveling through or to it.
