Overnight lane closures return to Route 72 East and West this week as the $2.4 million N.J. Department of Transportation 3-mile paving preservation project between Stafford Square and Marsha Drive continues in Stafford Township.

The work begins at 8 p.m. July 24 and runs until 6 a.m. Tuesday, July 25, continuing Monday through Thursday nights at the same time for about two weeks, the DOT said Monday afternoon.
