Saturday, April 23, 2022
Detours necessary next week during construction
(Trenton) – New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials today announced a railroad crossing rehabilitation project that will require the closure and detour of Route 73/Mays Landing Road next week in Winslow, Gloucester County.
Beginning at 7 a.m., Monday, April 25 until 7 a.m. Wednesday, April 27, Route 73/Mays Landing Road will be closed in both directions between Albertson Road/Piney Hollow Road and Cains Mill Road to remove the existing railroad crossing. This closure will allow NJDOT’s contractor to reconstruct the crossing and approaches. This crossing was closed in July 2021 for priority sinkhole repairs. Local access will be maintained for residents and businesses. The following detour will be in place:
Route 73/Mays Landing Road northbound detour:
- Motorists traveling on Route 73/Mays Landing Road northbound will be directed to turn right onto Route 54/Twelfth Street northbound
- Turn left onto North Chew Road, which becomes South Egg Harbor Road
- Turn left onto East Fleming Pike back to Route 73/Mays Landing Road
Route 73/Mays Landing Road westbound detour:
- Motorists traveling on Route 73/Mays Landing Road southbound will be directed to turn on left onto West Fleming Pike
- Turn right onto South Egg Harbor Road
- Keep right to continue on North Chew Road
- Turn right onto Route 54/Twelfth Street southbound back to Route 73/Mays Landing Road
In order to provide safer and smoother railroad crossing, the existing crossing will be replaced with new concrete crossings and asphalt approaches. This federally-funded project is included within NJDOT’s railroad grade-crossing safety program which repairs, upgrades, or removes approximately 50 crossings each year, statewide.
The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT's traffic information website www.511nj.org for real-time travel information and for NJDOT news follow us on Twitter @NewJerseyDOT and on the NJDOT Facebook page.
