On Monday and Tuesday, Cape May County will pave a section of Townbank Road (Route 648) in Lower Township.
Townbank Road from Kenvil Road to Shore Road will be milled and resurfaced.
In order to safely do the work, eastbound Townbank Road traffic from Shore Road to Racetrack Drive will be detoured. Westbound traffic will remain open, according to a county news release.
The detour will be in place during active construction. Normal traffic patterns will resume Monday night.
Traffic traveling north and south along Shore Drive and wanting to head east along Townbank Road will be directed to Racetrack Drive, then back to Townbank Road.
Motorists are urged to use caution along the detour route and to obey all speed postings.
Residents within the work zone of Townbank Road should not park on the shoulder beginning Monday at 6 a.m. and until the completion of the paving on Tuesday evening. They will always have access to their homes, the release said.
The roadway will be accessible to emergency vehicles.
The paving is expected to be completed by Tuesday evening.
