Anyone who travels Route 40 in Atlantic and Cumberland counties, and Routes 9n and 47 in Cape May County, may experience delays and detours over the next several months as a result of roadway resurfacing. Daytime lane closures and traffic shifts in both directions will be held in both directions, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. beginning Monday, July 29 and continuing weekdays for the next several months.
Route 40 is scheduled to have lane closures and traffic shifts in both directions between Alleghany Avenue and Mill Street/Route 50/CR 616 in Hamilton, Atlantic County. The closures are necessary for concrete repairs and drainage inlet replacement. Motorists are advised to slow down, use caution, and expect delays when driving through the work zone.
Milling and paving is expected to begin in September upon completion of the concrete repairs and inlet replacement. Paving work is scheduled to take place overnight, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next day, Monday through Thursday nights, requiring a single lane on Route 40 eastbound and westbound to be closed between Alleghany Avenue and Mill Street/Route 50/CR 616. Traffic will be maintained using alternating traffic. Motorists are advised to slow down, use caution, and expect delays when driving through the work zone.
In the coming weeks, the project will begin work on Route 9 in Middle Township and Route 47 in Dennis. Township, Cape May County.
