Cedar Swamp Road reopens after extended closure but speed limit slashed to 35 mph
Jackson, NJ — Drivers heading through Cedar Swamp Road can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the roadway has officially reopened to traffic following a lengthy closure, but travel won’t be business as usual just yet.
The Jackson Police Department announced that while Cedar Swamp Road is now open, ongoing construction in the area means drivers will need to slow down. A temporary speed limit of 35 mph has been set in the designated work zone to maintain safety for both motorists and crews. The department issued the update on social media earlier this week, cautioning residents to remain alert while traveling through the area.
The reopening comes after months of intermittent closures and detours due to infrastructure upgrades. While specific details about the scope of the project remain limited, the reduced speed zone signals that crews are still completing key elements of the work.
There were no reports of traffic backups as of Thursday, but local officials are urging patience as final improvements continue. The exact timeline for when full-speed travel will resume was not provided.
