JACKSON, NJ– The Jackson Police Department has issued an advisory regarding the ongoing roadwork in the Cedar Swamp area, emphasizing the importance of adhering to detours outside active work hours.

Despite roadwork occurring only during the daytime, the department has confirmed that the road always remains impassable. Motorists are urged to follow the detour signs, even when officers are absent. The area has soft barricades and numerous signs to guide drivers away from the construction zone.

Authorities warn that circumventing these barricades can be hazardous. The ongoing road grading work has led to the formation of potentially large ditches or holes, posing a severe risk of vehicle damage or personal injury to those who attempt to traverse the closed section.

The Jackson Police Department acknowledges the inconvenience caused by this closure but assures that the work is being carried out efficiently to minimize disruption. The department thanks the public for their cooperation and compliance with the detour signs, prioritizing safety for all involved.
