Burlington County begins resurfacing in Shamong Aug. 1

Freeholder Deputy Director Kate Gibbs announced today that resurfacing of a 3.6 mile portion of Oakshade-Jackson Road (County Route 534) in Shamong Township is expected to begin on Aug. 1 and end Aug. 26.

“As part of our continual maintenance of Burlington County’s over 500 miles of center-line roads, the project involves pavement milling and overlay of Oakshade-Jackson Road from Route 620 to the Camden County Line in Shamong Township,” said Deputy Director Gibbs. “Construction is expected to take about three weeks to complete.”

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

The work is being done by American Asphalt Co., Inc. of West Collingswood, as part of the county’s 2015 State Funded Overlay Program.

A total 26 miles of roadway in 12 municipalities are being resurfaced through shared state and county funding.
