• Manville Road Closure: What Drivers Need To Know (patch.com) — Drivers in Manville who rely on Bleecher Street should plan for weekday closures from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. starting Monday, as roadwork is expected to continue for about four weeks. The Manville Police Department urges motorists to find alternate routes and use extra caution near the construction zone, even though no official detour has been announced. 
• Powerhouse Somerset County football program to leave Big Central Conf. (mycentraljersey.com) — Bernards High School's powerhouse football team plans to leave the Big Central Conference in 2028 for the Super Football Conference, a move that could reshape schedules for several Somerset County programs, including Manville. The story explains why Bernards wants shorter travel and better-sized rivals, and how past conference shifts brought Manville and neighboring schools into Skyland, raising questions about future matchups and league stability.
