Roadwork on Church Road slated to begin April 17

The Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders are announcing a road resurfacing project to begin in Mt. Laurel Township.

Resurfacing of a 1.3- mile portion of Church Road (County Route 616) is expected to begin this Wednesday, April 17.

The project involves milling and overlay of Church Road from Route 73 to County Route 607 in Mt. Laurel. The work is expected to take about two weeks to complete.

Traffic will be maintained with one lane alternating during milling and paving operation. Motorists using the roadway may experience a delay and are recommended to find alternative routes during the work.

The work is being done as part of the county’s 2012 State Funded Overlay Program. The County will resurface a total of 21.4 miles of roadway in 14 municipalities through shared state and county funding.
