Road Resurfacing Plan Includes Improvements to Moorestown Road

Burlington County will resurface 17 miles of roads this year in a $7.1 million plan approved by freeholders last week.

Burlington County freeholders approved a $7.1 million plan to resurface 12 county roads in 13 municipalities, for a total of 17.2 miles, this year.

The county is funding the project with $4.5 million from the annual NJ Transportation Trust Fund. The remaining $2.6 million will be paid for by the county.

“We will continue to dedicate the state funds we receive to the essential maintenance of our county roads that are in the most need of repaving,’’ said Burlington County Freeholder Director Joe Donnelly. “This repaving plan has proved to be far less costly than major reconstruction of roads if they are left in disrepair.”

The county will receive the NJ Transportation Trust Funding upfront, as it is one of only a few counties in the state that have consistently spent the funds in the time required.

Utility companies and the 13 municipalities in which construction will be scheduled will be notified to avoid conflicting with any other road construction projects. The plan must also be submitted to the state Department of Transportation for its approval.
