JACKSON – Jackson Township officials recently announced details and a preliminary schedule for road resurfacing that will bring major improvements to several important thoroughfares throughout the community.
The initiative is being undertaken with Ocean County and Mayor Michael Reina noted that “investing in Jackson Township’s infrastructure remains one of our top priorities.”
“We are pleased to partner with Ocean County on this initiative, which demonstrates our collective commitment to ensuring that our roads are in top-notch condition. This type of commitment requires investment, planning and action on an on-going basis. In that regard, our residents are going to see significant amounts of action and work taking place on our roads in the months and years ahead,” the mayor added.
Utilizing financial aid from the New Jersey Department of Transportation through Ocean County, the following roadway resurfacing projects are now being planned in the township:
• Route 527 Cedar Swamp Road, from Bennetts Mills Road to Commodore Boulevard, planned for spring 2022;
• Route 571 Cassville Road, from Route 528 to Francis Mills Bridge, planned for spring 2022. (Work on this section of Route 571 is being coordinated with utility work for Jackson Park North, so the utilities are installed before paving takes place.);
• Route 528 West Veterans Highway, from Route 527 to Route 571, planned for fall 2022;
• South New Prospect Road, from Andover Road to County Line Road, planned for spring 2023;
