Resurfacing & Safety Improvements to the Cross Keys Bypass (County Road ((CR)) 689) & Hurffville-Cross Keys Road (CR 654) in Washington Township
This project involves the resurfacing two non-contiguous roadway projects. The first involves the section of CR 689 from Jenna Way to Route 42 along the Cross Keys By-Pass along with the contiguous portion Hurffville-Cross Keys Road (CR 654) from the Cross Keys Bypass to the original Cross Keys intersection at Tuckahoe Road (CR 555).
