Narrative:

Taxiing out of millville airport I became confused by the number of advisories concerning txwys coming over the CTAF. While listening to the advisories I encountered a partially barricaded taxiway leading to runway 32. I went around the barricade and encountered a 6 inch deep saw cut trench in the taxiway, upon entering the trench, the nose gear gave way causing the propeller to strike the taxiway.
