Middlesex County officials announced that the County is making significant strides toward its Vision Zero goal—eliminating all traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries—through its 2025 Road Resurfacing Program.
This summer, the County will pave, resurface, and repair nearly 40 roadways and public areas across 19 municipalities, improving safety, reducing long-term maintenance costs, and enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors who travel on County roads, MCPO officials said.
Middlesex County officials said that, led by the Middlesex County Department of Transportation, this initiative is grounded in data-driven assessments of traffic patterns, road conditions, and infrastructure needs.
It includes resurfacing key roadways, park roads, and parking lots as part of the County’s comprehensive Vision Zero Action Plan, MCPO officials stated. 
“The 2025 resurfacing program is a direct investment in public safety and quality of life—one that supports economic activity and ensures our transportation network is ready to meet current and future demands,” said Middlesex County Commissioner Director Ronald G. Rios.
“As Chair of the County’s Transportation Committee, I’m proud to support this collaborative effort that improves safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike,” said Middlesex County Commissioner Charles Kenny, Chair of the Transportation Committee.

Middlesex County officials said following resurfacing, each roadway will be protected under a five-year moratorium on non-emergency excavations to preserve pavement quality and public safety.
All public utilities and property owners were given a 45-day window from April 17, 2025, to complete any planned underground work prior to paving, MCPO officials say. Once a road is resurfaced, no non-emergency work will be permitted without express authorization from the County Engineer and Director of Public Works.
This infrastructure project supports Middlesex County’s broader Vision Zero strategy, which includes public education campaigns, such as “60 to Zero”—a new initiative targeting distracted driving, the region’s leading cause of traffic fatalities, according to Middlesex County officials.
