Some residents will see access to their homes disrupted during the paving process.
CHESTER, NJ — Paving on North Road / Dover Chester Road will begin on Monday, July 8, and will cause traffic jams for residents in the area.
Work will take place between 6:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. as weather permits. It should take two weeks, but could take longer if weather forces delays.
Traffic will only be allowed in one direction, and the opposite direction will be detoured. Residents should keep an eye out for signage about the detours.
