Road Delays Ongoing at Routes 537 and 527

Road delays are expected to continue for the rest of the week at County Route 537 and County Route 527, as the milling and repaving of the intersection is ongoing.

The County began the road project on Monday, and is advising motorists to expect delays as the number of travel lanes have been reduced.

“The County resurfaces about 20 miles of roadway each year,” said Freeholder Director Thomas Arnone. “The Route 537/527 project is part of the County’s efforts to responsibly maintain its roadway infrastructure and to keep traffic moving.”

Approximately 3,500 feet of Route 537 and about 2,100 feet of Route 527 will be paved.

The County maintains a total of 380 miles of roads, 980 bridges and culverts and 200 traffic signals.

If an adjustment to the work schedule is made, updates will be posted on the County’s website at www.visitmonmouth.com.
