Thank you to Senator Troy Singleton for securing $350,000 in the FY27 State Budget for two important local projects: $100,000 for water treatment plant flow meter replacements and $250,000 to restore the Columbus Park neighborhood playground. These investments will help improve essential infrastructure while creating better play spaces for our kids.

Good evening Burlington City residents of Columbus Park and Lynnfield neighborhoods, and Columbus Road users,
The Burlington County managed milling and paving project of Columbus Rd from Rt 130N to Neck Rd will begin on 8/3/2026 (7a-5p) until completed.
1. Traffic off Rt 130N towards Neck Rd will be detoured up Rt 130N to Neck Rd, then right on Neck Rd back to Columbus Rd (and right on Columbus Rd to get back to say Columbus Park).
2. Traffic on Columbus Rd will only be flowing westbound from Neck Rd to Rt 130, NO eastbound traffic.
3. All vehicles exiting Columbus Park, LaGorce Blvd, or any side street in Twp will only be able to turn onto Columbus Rd westbound towards Rt 130.
4. Normal travel / traffic patterns along Columbus Road will be disruptive until project completion.
5. We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this project. ... See MoreSee Less
