Work is scheduled to begin this week on repaving portions of Saylor’s Pond Road and Jacksonville-Jobstown roads in Springfield.
Pavement milling and overlay work were expected to begin Monday, June 16, on a 3.4-mile section of Saylor’s Pond Road, also known as County Route 670, from Route 537 (Monmouth Road) to the Wrightstown border. The work is expected to take about a week to complete.
During the project, westbound traffic on Saylor’s Pond Road will be maintained, but eastbound traffic will be detoured using Route 537 and Route 545 (Georgetown Road). Detour signs are in place, but motorists using the roads will likely experience delays and are advised to seek alternative routes.
Separately, work is scheduled to begin on Thursday, June 19, to repave 1.9-miles of Jacksonville-Jobstown Road, also known as County Route 670, from Route 537 (Monmouth Road) to Route 206. The work is expected to take about two weeks to complete.
Eastbound traffic on Jacksonville-Jobstown Road will be maintained during the project, but westbound traffic will be detoured using Route 537 and Route 206. Motorists using the roads will likely experience delays and are encouraged 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 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.”
