Newfield receives $218,894 state grant for Woodlawn Avenue reconstruction

Newfield Borough has been awarded a $218,894 New Jersey Department of Transportation Municipal Aid grant for reconstructing Woodlawn Avenue.

The FY 2026 award appears in NJDOT’s Municipal Aid Grants document under roadway preservation. The state table lists Newfield Borough in Gloucester County and identifies the project as Woodlawn Avenue Reconstruction.

The grant provides state funding for the project and may reduce the amount the borough must cover locally. Roadway preservation work is intended to address pavement conditions and can support safer, more reliable travel, but the award document does not describe the project’s final design or construction schedule.

Additional streets included in grant application

Newfield’s July 9, 2026 regular council agenda also listed an NJDOT grant application for reconstruction of South Hazel Avenue and South Church Street.

That application is separate from the Woodlawn Avenue award. The agenda shows that the borough was pursuing additional state support for road reconstruction, but it does not establish that funding for South Hazel Avenue or South Church Street was approved.

The July 9 meeting was scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Newfield Municipal Building. The agenda also listed an extension of the third-quarter tax grace period, cancellation of grant balances and disbursements under Resolution 68-26, and a borough land-sale item.

The borough’s current-meetings page also listed a special meeting for June 24, 2026, at 6 p.m.

Other road work identified in Newfield

Gloucester County’s road-work updates page identifies Bridge 11-M-4 on Rosemont Avenue over Burnt Mill Branch as being in Newfield Borough. The county page describes roadway and bridge work, along with related route implications, but does not establish whether that work is active, completed or scheduled.

For Woodlawn Avenue, the state grant is the confirmed action. The grant document does not specify a construction start date, completion date, bid amount, local match, exact project limits or traffic-control plan.

The next known local action involving the other two streets was the July 9 council agenda item seeking NJDOT support. Residents, drivers and nearby businesses will need later borough or state project information for details about timing, construction limits and traffic arrangements.
