Work is scheduled to begin next week on repaving a portion of North Maple Avenue in Evesham and Mount Laurel.
Pavement milling and overlay work on the road, also known as County Route 607, is expected to begin Monday, Sept. 15. Approximately 1.5 miles will be repaved from just north of Route 70 in Evesham to the intersection with Route 616 in Mount Laurel.
The work is expected to take about three weeks to complete.
Two-way traffic will be maintained during the project by keeping one lane open in each direction. Motorists using the roads will still 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.”
