Cresskill, NJ Street Opening Bond
Overview
Need to open a street in Cresskill, NJ? Before any excavation, trenching, or utility work breaks ground in the borough's public right-of-way, you must post a Street Opening Bond. This bond guarantees that you will restore the roadway, curb, or sidewalk to the condition it was in before your work began. Cresskill holds this bond as your financial commitment to proper repair — if you don't make good, the borough can draw on it to cover the cost.
Who Needs This Bond?
Utility contractors cutting pavement to install or repair water, sewer, gas, or telecom lines are typical applicants. Excavating contractors hired by developers, homeowners, or utility companies to access underground infrastructure also need this bond. Any individual or company that applies for a street opening permit from Cresskill, NJ — regardless of the size of the cut — is required to have it in place before work begins.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Cresskill and its residents from the cost of an unrepaired or improperly restored street opening. If you excavate the public right-of-way and fail to restore the pavement, curb line, or surface to borough standards, the bond provides the funds to make it right. It is not insurance for your crew or your equipment — it is a financial guarantee running in favor of the Borough of Cresskill that the roadway will be properly restored.
When is it Required?
Before the borough issues a street opening permit, you must present proof of this bond. The permit office will not approve your application without it. This bond is typically requested at the same time you submit your permit paperwork, meaning it must be secured before any machinery or crew is mobilized to the job site in Cresskill.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the Borough of Cresskill in Bergen County, New Jersey. It covers work performed within Cresskill's public streets, rights-of-way, sidewalks, and curbs — not those in neighboring municipalities. If your project crosses into another town, that jurisdiction will have its own separate bonding requirement.
