WILLINGBORO — Road resurfacing work is started or will start soon on Burlington County highways in Mansfield, Florence, and Hainesport with completion times for the three projects ranging from one to two weeks, according to the county.

Traffic will be maintained through all three work areas, but motorists using the roads will likely experience delays and are advised to seek alternative routes.

The work on Burlington-Columbus Road and Hainesport-Mount Laurel Road is being performed by Black Rock Enterprises and is part of the county’s annual road resurfacing program.

A total of almost 37 miles of roadway in 14 municipalities are expected to be resurfaced through a combination of New Jersey and county funding.

The Atlantic/New York Avenue repaving is being done by South State Inc. It is part of a separate resurfacing plan funded by the county.
