Work is scheduled to begin on repaving portions of North Pemberton Road in Southampton and Ong’s Hat Road in Southampton and Pemberton Township.
Pavement milling and overlay work will begin on Friday, June 13, on a 0.4-mile section of North Pemberton Road, also known as County Route 616, from Pemberton Road to Route 206. The work is expected to take about a week to complete.
Separately, work will begin on Monday, June 16, to repave 3.1-miles of Ong’s Hat Road, also known as County Route 642, from Burrs Mill Road in Southampton to Route 644 in Pemberton Township. The work is expected to take about two weeks to complete.
Traffic will be maintained through the work areas on both highways, but 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 33.4 miles of roadway in 16 Burlington Couty 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.”
