Burlington County plans to resurface portions of another 16 county roads under its latest State Funded Overlay Plan.
Just over 34 miles of highway are scheduled to be repaved in 14 Burlington County towns under the county’s newest plan. Among the towns where work will be performed are Moorestown, Westampton, Burlington City, Burlington Township, Springfield, Florence, Evesham, Eastampton, Mount Holly, Pemberton Township, Southampton, Shamong, Washington Township and Bass River.
The Burlington County Commissioners voted on July 16 to approve a contract with Hammonton-based Arawak Paving Co. to perform the milling and overlay work on the roads. The $11.1 million contract is being funded largely with New Jersey transportation aid the county receives annually, so the New Jersey Department of Transportation must also concur with the contract award.
The road work is weather dependent. Once milling and paving is completed on one section of highway, the contractor will progress to another road on the county plan until all 16 projects are completed.
Currently, work is progressing on a separate repaving program on 16 county roads totaling 33.4 miles.
