Burlington County is preparing for the start of resurfacing work on 16 roads totaling 32 miles under the county’s newest State Funded Overlay Plan.
The county roads scheduled for the repairs cross through 17 Burlington County towns, including Chesterfield, Mansfield, Springfield, Westampton, Willingboro, Burlington Township, Mount Laurel, Pemberton Township, Lumberton, Evesham and Shamong.
The Burlington County Commissioners voted to approve a contract with Hammonton-based Arawak Paving Co. to perform overlay and milling work on the 16 roads. The $11.8 million contract is being funded largely with New Jersey Department of Transportation aid the county receives annually.
The work is weather dependent. Once milling and paving work is completed on one section of highway, the contractor will progress to another road on the county plan until all 16 projects are completed.
