And that detour could be in place for the rest of the year or roughly the next 300 days.

According to officials with Atlantic County, beginning Monday, March 7th, and continuing through the end of 2022, Mill Road will be closed to eastbound traffic between Patcong Drive and Fire Road.

The road will be open to westbound traffic only as of 3 PM Monday after the eastbound detour is put in place. The westbound lane will then remain open throughout construction.

Drivers who usually use the eastbound side of Mill Road can use the posted detour or find their own creative way to get around the road work.
