JACKSON – Local police are advising drivers that an ongoing road project that has closed Cedar Swamp Road will keep an intersection closed indefinitely while utility work is completed.
According to the traffic bureau, the Ocean County Engineering Department and contractors determined the road cannot safely reopen due to unanticipated issues. The work makes the roadway impassable to normal traffic.
Officials emphasized the closure is outside the township’s control. “We will announce a reopening date as soon as one is provided, but at this time no time frame has been given,” the department said.
Police urged motorists not to attempt to drive through the closed intersection, noting that officers remain posted at the site. The local school board and transportation officials have been notified and are expected to make adjustments for student travel.
Authorities acknowledged the inconvenience to residents, but stressed the closure also impacts emergency response vehicles.
