• Gas line installation will cause daytime lane closures on Route 1 between Schoolhouse Road and Ladbroke Lane in East Marlborough Township through June 30.

• Roadway reconstruction will cause daytime lane closures on Route 202 between Smithbridge Road and Watkin Avenue, and on Naamans Creek Road between Route 202 and Graystone Drive through Sept. 1.

• Road reconstruction will also cause daytime lane closures on Naamans Creek Road between Route 202 and Graystone Drive in Concord Township through Sept. 1.
