Drivers traveling through Lakewood on Monday night should expect traffic disruptions as both state road crews and utility contractors conduct overnight work in several areas of town.

New Jersey Department of Transportation contractors are scheduled to begin repaving work at 10 p.m. on portions of several streets near Route 9. The affected roadways include Buttell Avenue, Prospect Street, Sherwood Drive, Spruce Street, and West Spruce Street.

Drivers should anticipate temporary closures and detours in the work zones. A detour for Prospect Street traffic will direct motorists along Williams Street, James Street, and Route 9.

Separately, New Jersey Natural Gas crews will continue infrastructure improvement work beginning at 9 p.m. on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive between Cedar Bridge Avenue and Center Street.

During the project, one lane will remain open to traffic from Cedar Bridge Avenue to Pine Street. Motorists seeking to access Cedar Bridge Avenue from Martin Luther King Jr. Drive will be detoured via Center Street.
