TOMS RIVER – A section of Route 9 will be closed during several nights this week while paving is done after water main work, the State Department of Transportation Advised.
The closures will be between Cox Cro Road and Church Road in both directions. Detours are scheduled for between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. from Monday through Friday nights for approximately three months.
During the construction, drivers heading south on 9 will have to:
• Turn right onto Cox Cro
• Turn left onto Whitesville Road/Route 571
• Turn left onto Stevens Road back to Route 9
Drivers heading north will have to:
• Turn right onto Church Road
• Turn left onto Old Freehold Road
• Turn left onto Cox Crow Road back to Route 9
This is part of a $48.5 million project on approximately seven miles of Rt. 9 between Indian Head Road in Toms River and 2nd Street in Lakewood. There will be eight intersections widened, left turn lanes added, and new traffic lights will be added at Oak Street and Broadway/Chateau Drive in Lakewood.
Additionally, there will be 1.6 miles of new sidewalks, 5.9 miles of reconstructed sidewalks, and ramps to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The entire project is expected to be done by the summer of 2025.
