Several roadway projects are scheduled across Camden County during the week of March 30 to April 3, according to a statement released by the county. The Department of Public Works will oversee these efforts, which include full and partial road closures in multiple municipalities.
The planned construction aims to improve safety and infrastructure for motorists and pedestrians throughout the county. Camden County maintains over 1,200 miles of roadway, more than 200 bridges, and several dams as part of its commitment to public service.
Commissioner Al Dyer said, “Motorists should plan ahead to take alternate routes and give themselves plenty of time to get to their destinations. Also, remember that when you’re traveling through a construction area, please slow down and stay alert for crew members and debris.”
Work is set in various towns including Audubon (Hopkins Road), Berlin Township (Cooper Road & Hopewell Road), Camden (River Avenue, Federal Street, Haddon Avenue), Cherry Hill (Kresson Road), Collingswood (Park Avenue), Gloucester Township (Blackwood-Clementon Road & Blenheim-Erial Road; Evesham Road), Pine Hill (West Branch Avenue), Runnemede (Evesham Road), Voorhees Township (White Horse Road; Cooper & Hopewell Roads) and Winslow Township (Mays Landing Road; Williamstown-New Freedom & Sicklerville Roads). Specific dates and times vary by location with some work occurring from early morning until late afternoon or evening.
According to the official website, Camden County advances community welfare through education initiatives, workforce development programs, public services such as transportation improvements, health services, economic development activities as well as maintaining parks, libraries and nutrition centers. The county supports over 500,000 residents across its 37 municipalities in southern New Jersey under the direction of a seven-member Board of Commissioners who serve staggered three-year terms.
