Work is scheduled to begin this week on repaving a portion of Willow Grove Road in Shamong.
Pavement milling and overlay work on the road, also known as County Route 648, is expected to start Monday, June 8. Approximately 2 miles of the road will be repaved from Atsion Road to Route 206.
The work is expected to take about two weeks to complete.
Westbound traffic on Willow Grove Road will be maintained during the project. Eastbound traffic will be detoured using Atsion Road, Oakshade Road, Tuckerton Road, and Route 206. Motorists using the roads will likely experience delays and are advised to seek alternative routes.
The work is being done by Arawak Paving Company Inc., of Hammonton, and is part of Burlington County’s annual road resurfacing program. A total of 34.3 miles of roadway in 14 Burlington County municipalities is expected to be resurfaced as part of Arawak’s repaving contract.
“Burlington County is the largest county in New Jersey and has over 500 miles of County roads, 411 County bridges and 700 plus culverts. Maintaining this infrastructure is one of the important services our government performs,” said Burlington County Commissioner Tom Pullion, the liaison to the Department of Public Works. “Our repaving program ensures Burlington County has safe, quality roads, and we are pleased to see that work is continuing.”
