NOTICE OF NIGHT PAVING OPERATIONS and DETOUR

C.R. 557- WOODBINE ROAD

The County of Cape May’s 2024 Maintenance Paving contract will resume with the resurfacing of Woodbine Road (CR 557) in the Borough of Woodbine and Township of Upper. Woodbine Road will be resurfaced starting at DeHirsch Avenue (CR 550) and extending north to NJ Route 49. The work will consist of the milling and resurfacing of the roadway under a night paving operation. Work is expected to begin on Monday, March 31st at approximately 6:00pm and will continue thru the night until approximately 6:00am the following morning. Work will continue during the nights from March 31st until Friday night April 4th.

During the active paving operation, northbound CR 557 traffic will be maintained. South bound CR 557 traffic will be detoured. Local traffic will be maintained, and homeowners will always have access to their properties. Traffic heading east along NJ Route 49 will be directed to continue heading east to NJ Route 50. Traffic will be directed south along NJ Route 50 to CR 664. At that point, motorists will be directed south onto CR 664 (Tuckahoe -Mount Pleasant Road) and will continue along CR 664 to CR 610 (Dennisville Petersburg Road). Traffic will then be directed south west along CR 610 and continue along Cr 610 up to the roundabout, where traffic will enter the roundabout and turn onto CR 550 (DeHirsch Avenue) heading west. Traffic will continue along CR550 west and back to CR 557. Normal traffic patterns will resume between 6:00am and 6:00pm each day.

Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling thru the work zone due to limited visibility, slow moving vehicles and the absence of traffic striping. Stick down pavement reflectors will be installed at the end of each paving day in order to delineate the roadway centerline and will remain in place until the roadway receives permanent traffic striping.
