Burlington Review

Work is scheduled to start next week on repaving projects on two Burlington County highways crossing through Westampton, Eastampton, Chesterfield, and North Hanover.

Pavement milling and overlay work will begin Monday, July 8, on a 1.5-mile section of Mount Holly-Jacksonville Road, also known as County Route 628. The work will take place between Route 630 in Westampton and Route 639 in Eastampton. It is expected to take about a week to complete.

Work will begin Wednesday, July 10, on resurfacing a 2.9-mile section of Chesterfield-Arneytown Road, also known as County Route 664. The work area will stretch between Route 528 in Chesterfield to the county border with Ocean County in North Hanover. It is expected to take about two weeks to complete.

Traffic will be maintained through both work areas, but motorists using the road will likely experience delays and are advised to seek an alternative route.

The work on Mount Holly-Jacksonville Road is being done by Earle Asphalt Co., of Farmingdale, and the work on Chesterfield-Arneytown Road is being done by Black Rock Enterprises, of Old Bridge. Both repaving projects are part of the county’s road resurfacing program.

“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.”
