UPDATE: Extensive Infrastructure Work Completed Throughout Lakewood Over Pesach

Apr 20, 2026·3 min read

While walking and/or driving through Lakewood, chances are that you’ve recently encountered some visible infrastructure improvements.

Indeed, Lakewood Township officials have spent the pre-Passover period planning to take maximum advantage of the holiday – when vehicular traffic in town is unusually low.

A slew of infrastructure work was planned for this time period. During the holiday, Township crews and subcontractors went into overdrive to complete them – substantially quicker, and with less traffic disruption, than they would ordinarily entail. Similarly, Township officials worked with Ocean County and New Jersey American Water (NJAW) officials to coordinate some of their infrastructure projects during this time period as well.

“Thanks to our wonderful Engineers; Public Works and TrafficSafety Departments; among other officials; for working together so effectively as a team to plan and execute important infrastructure improvements during the Passover season,” says Committeeman Meir Lichtenstein. “We look forward to continue working together to improve safety and quality of life for Lakewood residents and motorists.”
