JFK Boulevard Reconstruction, from the Bridge to Landis Avenue
The County received bids for the project on December 12, 2012. The apparent low bidder was Asphalt Paving Systems, Inc., of Hammonton, NJ in the amount of $3,773,000.00. A preconstruction meeting for the project took place on January 9th, at which time details for the project were reviewed along with the proposed construction schedule. Construction is currently in full swing, with concrete and utility work taking place along the length of the boulevard.
The following are some of the important details regarding the project:
1. The north side of JFK Boulevard is closed, with two way traffic diverted to the south side of the boulevard from the foot of the Bridge to Landis Avenue.
2. The contractor has paved 2 lanes on the South side of JFK Boulevard and has also started to work on drainage and milling JFK Boulevard on both the north & south sides while continuing to do work on the center islands.
3. The majority of the work will be completed prior to the 2013 Memorial Day weekend, and there will be two lanes along each side of the boulevard open for Memorial Day weekend and no access restrictions for that weekend.
4. The project is scheduled for substantial completion by mid-June, 2013.
5. Final completion of the project, including all punch list items, is scheduled for fall 2013, with no work to take place during the summer season.
6. The project construction is being completely funded by the federal government.
