Paving to Begin on Jarvis Road in Gloucester Township

The paving work will start May 15 and continue for 45 days.

Camden County submitted the following news release: 

Jarvis Road (County Route 687) will be repaved from Sicklerville Road (County Route 705) to mile marker .75 in the vicinity of Maynard Drive in Gloucester Township. The work is scheduled to begin May 15, and it is anticipated to last for 45 calendar days. The exact timing of the project is dependent upon the weather and other factors.

“The maintenance of county roadways is one of the most important functions for the Freeholder Board and an important investment for the residents and businesses of Camden County,” said Freeholder Ian Leonard, liaison to the Camden County Department of Public Works. “Jarvis Road is one of the better traveled roadways through the southern portion of Camden County, and this reconstruction will improve the quality of life for residents and commuters in the area.”

“We appreciate your patience and understanding during the repaving,” Leonard said. “Please remember to allow yourself extra time if plan to travel this route during the construction.”
