MIDDLESEX COUNTY, NJ—Middlesex County is making significant strides toward its Vision Zero goal—eliminating all traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries—through its 2025 Road Resurfacing Program. This summer, the County will pave, resurface, and repair nearly 40 roadways and public areas across 19 municipalities, improving safety, reducing long-term maintenance costs, and enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors who travel on County roads.

Led by the Middlesex County Department of Transportation, this initiative is grounded in data-driven assessments of traffic patterns, road conditions, and infrastructure needs. It includes resurfacing key roadways, park roads, and parking lots as part of the County’s comprehensive Vision Zero Action Plan.

“Maintaining and modernizing our infrastructure is essential to delivering on our promise of safe, efficient, and accessible roadways,” said Middlesex County Commissioner Director Ronald G. Rios. “The 2025 resurfacing program is a direct investment in public safety and quality of life—one that supports economic activity and ensures our transportation network is ready to meet current and future demands.”

“As Chair of the County’s Transportation Committee, I’m proud to support this collaborative effort that improves safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike,” said Middlesex County Commissioner Charles Kenny, Chair of the Transportation Committee. “These upgrades not only improve the driving experience but also extend the lifespan of our roadways and reduce the need for future repairs.”

Following resurfacing, each roadway will be protected under a five-year moratorium on non-emergency excavations to preserve pavement quality and public safety. All public utilities and property owners were given a 45-day window from April 17, 2025, to complete any planned underground work prior to paving. Once a road is resurfaced, no non-emergency work will be permitted without express authorization from the County Engineer and Director of Public Works.

This infrastructure project supports Middlesex County’s broader Vision Zero strategy, which includes public education campaigns like “60 to Zero”— a new initiative targeting distracted driving, the region’s leading cause of traffic fatalities.
