Pemberton Township motorists on New Lisbon Road should expect delays starting Monday, September 14, according to Burlington County's official news release.
Crews will mill and repave a 1.9-mile section of the road, also known as County Route 645, running from Magnolia Road (Route 644) to Four Mile Road (Route 646). The county expects the work to wrap up in roughly two weeks.
Eastbound traffic will be closed through the construction zone. Drivers heading that direction will be rerouted along Magnolia Road, then the Pemberton Bypass, followed by Pemberton-Browns Mills Road, and finally Four Mile Road to rejoin their route.
Westbound travel will continue as normal. The county is advising all motorists in the area to consider alternate routes regardless of direction.
Who Is Doing the Work
Hammonton-based Arawak Paving Company Inc. is handling the job. The contractor is also responsible for a broader county resurfacing contract that covers 34.3 miles of roadway across 14 Burlington County municipalities this season.
Part of a Longer-Running Program
This project is one piece of Burlington County's annual road resurfacing effort, which targets county-maintained roads, bridges, and drainage structures throughout the region.
Burlington County Commissioner Tom Pullion, who serves as the Board's liaison to the Department of Public Works, said the county oversees more than 500 miles of county roads alongside hundreds of bridges and culverts, and that keeping that network in good condition is one of the core services local government provides.
Pullion added that the repaving program is what keeps those roads safe and of acceptable quality.
A prior resurfacing project by Burlington County in May 2025 covered a 3.1-mile stretch of North Pemberton Road (County Route 630) in the same township, also performed by Arawak under a separate contract that year totaling 33.4 miles across 16 municipalities.
The September 2026 contract covers fewer total miles but spreads work across 14 communities.
What Drivers Should Know
The detour route adds distance for anyone traveling east on New Lisbon Road between the two named intersections. Delays are likely, particularly during morning and evening travel.
The county has not announced any nighttime or weekend restrictions, and no information on daily work hours was included in the announcement.
Work is weather-dependent and the two-week estimate reflects standard conditions for pavement milling and overlay operations.
