Work is scheduled to begin next week on repaving a portion of Tuckerton Road in Shamong and Tabernacle.
Pavement milling and overlay work on the road, also known as County Route 622, is expected to begin Tuesday, Oct. 28. Approximately 1.2 miles of the road will be repaved from Oakshade Road in Shamong to Route 206 in Tabernacle.
The work is expected to take about a week to complete.
Westbound traffic on Tuckerton Road will be maintained during the work but eastbound traffic will be detoured using Stokes Road, Indian Mills Road, Willow Grove Road and Route 206. Detour signs will be posted. 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 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.”
