The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) advised the Township today that the temporary detour will remain in place for approximately four additional weeks, through the week of September 7, 2026.

The extension is due to delays caused by extreme weather and unexpected utility conflicts encountered during the work.

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Neptune Township EMS Chief Bil Rosen collapsed and died in the line of duty this morning. He was 59. This is a major loss for all of us, and we’re still processing the shock. Bil was a friend, a family member, and held multiple significant roles throughout EMS in New Jersey. Bil touched countless lives through his work at Neptune EMS, the New Jersey EMS Task Force, Neptune OEM, as well as through his cooking, his teaching, and his family.

Bil was passionate about mental health and wellness and established a robust peer support system within Neptune Township EMS that has come to grow into something bigger than imagined. The hope for him was to create a program that nurtured and destigmatized the judgment around mental health in public safety. In addition to his role as EMS Chief for Neptune Township, he also held the positions of Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator for Neptune OEM, Training Module Manager for the NJ EMS Task Force and Deputy EMS Coordinator for Monmouth County, and was a long time dedicated member of Shark River Hills First Aid. He was a lifelong educator of public safety professionals, and instructed thousands of students both nationally and internationally.

He had a strong love of food, and, most of all, his family. You could feel the joy he had for watching his son Bash begin his journey in EMS. Most recently, they could be found standing together side by side at the FIFA world cup. In addition to that, he could be found at the sidelines of Bash’s soccer games cheering him on with pride. Notoriously known for his famous kayak and hunting trips with his close friends; he had a love for getting outdoors and always loved to share his tales with coworkers and friends alike.

We’ll share more details about services as soon as we have them. For now, please keep Bil’s wife Kristin, his son Sebastian, his loving family, and everyone whose lives he touched along the way in your thoughts. His dad jokes will be deeply missed, and the joy he brought to all of us will never be forgotten. The legacy he has left behind will be carried on for generations by all the lives that Bil touched.
