The New Jersey Department of Transportation announced overnight lane, ramp, and shoulder closures on Route 9 northbound and southbound for approximately nine miles for milling and paving work in Cape May County. Beginning at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, September 16 and continuing through the winter of 2015, NJDOT’s contractor, South State, Inc. is scheduled to temporarily close single lanes, ramps, and shoulders along Route 9 beginning near Route 109 in Lower Township to Egret Trail in Middle Township. The repaving project is a moving operation that will take place between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Vehicles attempting to take ramps within the project limits will at times be required to use a detour during the hours of construction. Variable message signs and detour signs are being utilized throughout the project limits to provide advance notification to motorists of all traffic pattern changes associated with the resurfacing project. Throughout the project, NJDOT will provide information before upcoming road or ramp closures.
